What exactly does "Inverse" imply ? #249

Open YaphetKG opened 5 years ago

YaphetKG commented 5 years ago

I was trying to interpret the results from API calls on biolink and came across the inverse key in the relation for each association. "associations": [ .... "relation": { "inverse": false, "id": "RO:0002200", "label": "has phenotype" }, ...] I wasn't quite sure what this inverse implies when value is true, I am assuming that it means that the subject and object are reversed for that association but wanted to confirm this. Thanks in advance
