Is TRUNK-412 the latest version of the data model? If so, it appears that there can be a relation between a term and a concept or between any two terms (regardless of source, your 2nd question). There is no inverse mapping (your 1st question):
* Concept_reference_term is mapped by concept_map to concept with a map_type relationship. * Concept_reference_term a has an a_is_to_b concept_map_type to concept_reference_term b via concept_reference_term_map These were different use cases, the first appropriate for mapping standard vocabularies to concepts (or for module concept identification) and the second appropriate for cross-mappings between or within vocabularies. To get the bidirectional relationship, one could a) put the inverse relationship into concept_map_type as another field; b) put the inverse relationship into concept_reference_term_map as a b_is_to_a field; or c) require 2 concept reference term maps, one with a::b and the other with b::a. If a map_type can have more than one inverse, then (c) is the only option. If one wants map concept to term, then (a) is the only option. The way the methods getConceptByMapping() and getConceptsByMapping() work pretty much determines the direction of the term-concept relationship. If we want to map in the other direction, we may need another signature for these functions with a map type parameter, and a function List<Concept_Reference_Term> getMapsByConcept(Concept c, ConceptMapType m).

This is not the current implementation and i feel it would be strange though i recall when i asked this the last time, we chose to ignore it and just make it unidirectional. And can one map two reference terms in different concept sources or they should be in the same dictionary?
