All full-length papers and selected short papers will be invited to submit a fully revised version to the Journal of Biomedical Semantics (JBMS) VDOS Special Issue.

VDOS will not have a separate poster session; however, we expect all the papers selected for presentation will be encouraged to present a poster at the main ICBO conference.
