 ===== SOURCE_TO_CONCEPT_MAP table ===== ===== SOURCE_TO_CONCEPT_MAP table =====
 +**The CDM documentation is now being housed on [[https://​github.com/​OHDSI/​CommonDataModel/​wiki|github]]. The most recent release is [[https://​github.com/​OHDSI/​CommonDataModel/​releases/​tag/​v5.2.-bugfix.1|v5.2]]**
 +
 +The source to concept map table is a legacy data structure within the OMOP Common Data Model, recommended for use in ETL processes to maintain local source codes which are not available as Concepts in the Standardized Vocabularies,​ and to establish mappings for each source code into a Standard Concept as target_concept_ids that can be used to populate the Common Data Model tables. The SOURCE_TO_CONCEPT_MAP table is no longer populated with content within the Standardized Vocabularies published to the OMOP community. ​
 +
 +^Field^Required^Type^Description^
 +|source_code|Yes|varchar(50)|The source code being translated into a Standard Concept.|
 +|source_concept_id|Yes|integer|A foreign key to the Source Concept that is being translated into a Standard Concept.|
 +|source_vocabulary_id|No|varchar(20)|A foreign key to the VOCABULARY table defining the vocabulary of the source code that is being translated to a Standard Concept.|
 +|source_code_description|Yes|varchar(255)|An optional description for the source code. This is included as a convenience to compare the description of the source code to the name of the concept.|
 +|target_concept_id|Yes|integer|A foreign key to the target Concept to which the source code is being mapped.|
 +|target_vocabulary_id|Yes|varchar(20)|A foreign key to the VOCABULARY table defining the vocabulary of the target Concept.|
 +|valid_start_date|Yes|date|The date when the mapping instance was first recorded.|
 +|valid_end_date|Yes|date|The date when the mapping instance became invalid because it was deleted or superseded (updated) by a new relationship. Default value is 31-Dec-2099.|
 +|invalid_reason|No|varchar(1)|Reason the mapping instance was invalidated. Possible values are D (deleted), U (replaced with an update) or NULL when valid_end_date has the default value.|

 +==== Conventions ====
 +
 +  * This table is no longer used to distribute mapping information between source codes and Standard Concepts for the Standard Vocabularies. Instead, the CONCEPT_RELATIONSHIP table is used for this purpose, using the relationship_id='​Maps to'.
 +  * However, this table can still be used for the translation of local source codes into Standard Concepts.
 +  * **Note: **This table should not be used to translate source codes to Source Concepts. The source code of a Source Concept is captured in its concept_code field. If the source codes used in a given database do not follow correct formatting the ETL will have to perform this translation. For example, if ICD-9-CM codes are recorded without a dot the ETL will have to perform a lookup function that allows identifying the correct ICD-9-CM Source Concept (with the dot in the concept_code field).
 +  * The source_concept_id,​ or the combination of the fields source_code and the source_vocabulary_id uniquely identifies the source information. It is the equivalent to the concept_id_1 field in the CONCEPT_RELATIONSHIP table.
 +  * If there is no source_concept_id available because the source codes are local and not supported by the Standard Vocabulary, the content of the field is 0 (zero, not null) encoding an undefined concept. However, local Source Concepts are established (concept_id values above 2,​000,​000,​000).
 +  * The source_code_description contains an optional description of the source code.
 +  * The target_concept_id contains the Concept the source code is mapped to. It is equivalent to the concept_id_2 in the CONCEPT_RELATIONSHIP table 
 +  * The target_vocabulary_id field contains the vocabulary_id of the target concept. It is a duplication of the same information in the CONCEPT record of the Target Concept.
 +  * The fields valid_start_date,​ valid_end_date and invalid_reason are used to define the life cycle of the mapping information. Invalid mapping records should not be used for mapping information.
