Hi Colin,

Thank you for answer! I was already able to learn something new: I didn't 
know about outE (can't find it in the manual) and kept using out_have for 
the same purpose (which always felt wrong to me...).

This gets me half way to the solution. I now have:

select in as term, out.inE('hasConcept') from (select from (select 
expand(inE('hasTerm')) from <term_rid>) where Origin = true)

which returns the term and a list of the edges connecting that term's 
origin concept to all its vocabularies. 
Now how can I figure out which of those edges has Origin = true, so I can 
know the origin vocabulary of the concept, while at the same time keep the 
term's data. I've tried to expand the out.inE('hasConcept') but that makes 
the 'term' field disappear...

i.e. what I'm trying to achieve is a row with all the term's information 
and an extra column at the end with it's origin vocabulary name.

Is it possible?
