Abstract: Model Instances in VOTables (MIVOT) is a VO standard that defines a syntax to map VOTable data to any data model serialised in VODML (Virtual Observatory Data Modeling Language). This annotation schema operates as a bridge between data and models. It associates both VOTable metadata and data to model elements (class, attributes, types, etc.). It also brings up VOTable data or metadata that were possibly missing in the table, e.g., accurate description of a coordinate system or curation tracing. MIVOT became an IVOA recommendation in June 2023. Having this standard was necessary to exercise data models against real data and to make the data interpretation easier by using code based with shared models. This paper presents our on-going developments: reading and writing MIVOT annotations with a CDS RUST library, reading and interpreting annotations with AstroPy/PyVO and creating an add-on to the VOLLT TAP library able to annotate query responses on the fly.
