Scientific paper

VOEvent is a new Virtual Observatory standard, an information packet for representing, transmitting, publishing, and archiving the discovery of a transient celestial event, with the implication that timely follow-up is being requested. Structured data is used, rather than natural language, so that automated systems can effectively use VOEvent packets without need for human interpretation. The objective is to motivate the observation of targets-of-opportunity, to drive robotic telescopes, to trigger active searches, and to alert the community. VOEvent can describe not only photon events, but also those resulting from physical phenomena such as neutrinos, gravitational waves, and solar or atmospheric particle bursts.
