mappings
Links between sets
Mappings is the plural of mapping, which describes a correspondence or relationship between elements of different sets.
In mathematics, a mapping assigns each element in one set to exactly one element in another.
The term extends to any systematic pairing: The software handles mappings between database fields, keyboard mappings.
In genetics, mapping locates genes on chromosomes.
