Short Definition: A licensed facility that provides long-term nursing care, rehabilitation, and other services primarily to chronically ill and/or elderly patients.

From Elisa:
One purpose of the explanatory note annotation is precisely to augment what you're calling the short definition with the additional material. Long-term care facility would be a synonym, as would nursing home, and then the sentence following that would be captured in an explanatory note. The short definition, with a lower case "a" at the start, since this isn't a sentence, and no "." at the end, conforms to the ISO 704 style, -- iff-- the class SkilledNursingFacility is a subclass of LicensedFacility.
From Pete:
But I don’t think the audience for FIBO is professional taxonomists and librarians.
