Mobius terminology

Dear Seqfans,
It seems that there is some confusion at some OEIS sequences 
regarding the Mobius transform.
Given a function g(n), defined on the positive integers, the 
Mobius transform of g is 
    f(n)=sum_{d|n} g(d) 
and then, of course, g is the inverse Mobius transform of f.
Not the other way around.
The number theory books I have do mention Mobius pairs but do 
not define the "Mobius transform".
Thanks for the needed reassurance.
Emeric
