Model Instances in VOTables (MIVOT) defines a syntax to map VOTable data to any data model serialised in VO-DML (Virtual Observatory Data Modeling Language). This annotation schema operates as a bridge between data and models. It associates both VOTable metadata and data to data model elements (class, attributes, types, etc.). It also brings up VOTable data or metadata that were possibly missing in the table, e.g., coordinate system description or curation tracing. MIVOT became an IVOA recommendation in May 2023.
Having this standard was necessary to first test and validate data models against real data and then to make the data interpretation easier by using code working with common data models. We are now at the point where we have to provide the community with robust software able to process model annotations on both client and server side. The paper presents the state of the art with the incoming implementations in AstroPY/PyVO, RUST VOTable parser, as well as an extension of the VOLLT, the Java TAP framework.
