   * 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'.   * This table is no longer used to distribute mapping information between source codes and Standard Concepts for the Standard Vocabularies.

   * However, this table can still be used for the translation of local source codes into Standard Concepts.   * 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 database doesn'​t follow the correct formatting, the ETL will have to perform this translation. For example, if an ICD-9-CM code in a database is recorded without a dot the ETL will have to perform a lookup function that allows identifying the correct ICD-9-CM Source Concept. ​
   * 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.   * 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).   * 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.
