Abstract: Multi-messenger astronomy and the observation of transient sources promise to address during the next decade some of the most important questions in astrophysics, Gravitational Relativity, and other subjects like, e.g. the origin of ultra-energetic cosmic rays. However, one of the main obstacles is the lack of standards to exchange information to coordinate observation plans between heterogeneous observatories. To help astronomers in this new multi-messenger astronomy era, ESA proposed to IVOA the standardization of the object visibility constraints and the observation planning discovery. In this contribution we report about the current status of these two protocols.
