Can I interact with the TIF Tags?

Hi.
We have several hundred thousand faxes which have had annotations added to them using the Microsoft Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
According to AsTiffTagViewer ver 2.00, your free TIFF Tag Viewer for Windows, the tag for the annotation is the "Wang Annotation".
At this stage, it is just a case of needing to read the annotations.
I use PHP. If there were TIFF specific functions like ...
array getTiffTag([$specific_tag])
That would be REALLY useful.
If there was a way to describe currently unknown tags that would be useful too. I don't know how many tags actually exist, but trying to keep uptodate would be a pain at the binary level, but a plain text file describing them could be updated independently.
Anyway. I hope you clever people have some ideas or guidance.

Richard Quadling.
