The word "smakrt" appears in the sentence:
"Unicode encodings contain all of the characters used in all of the natural languages, including readability characters such as smakrt quotes."
I presume the intent was "smart"?
Page 64 gives the Necessity "No verb concept role designation is a term.".
In SBVR verb concepts role are noun concepts, even though they are not general noun concepts. SBVR is deficient in that it doesn’t show terms as being for both general noun concepts and verb concept roles.
Also ISO 1087-1 does not exclude concepts that SBVR considers to be verb concept roles from its concept ‘concept’ and therefore from being designated by ‘terms’.
According to the diagram on p. 26 (Figure 8.5), element of guidance and rule are not mutually exclusive. But Figure 16.1 shows they are. That's an error. A proposition can be both a rule and an element of guidance.
The definition of "vocabulary" in SBVR is "set of designations and verb concept wordings primarily drawn from a single language
to express concepts within a body of shared meanings".
The definition does not explicitly indicate that definitions of concepts are part of a vocabulary. Most business people would probably assume they are.
