I.e. each Concept has at least one Synonym in the CONCEPT_SYNONYM table. As an example, for a SNOMED-CT Concept, if the fully specified name is stored as the concept_name of the CONCEPT table, then the Preferred Term and Synonyms associated with the Concept are stored in the CONCEPT_SYNONYM table. + * Only Synonyms that are active and current are stored in the CONCEPT_SYNONYM table.
