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., fine tuned coordinate system description, or curation tracing. MIVOT became an IVOA recommendation in May 2023.
Having this standard was necessary to exercise data models against real data and to make the data interpretation easier by using code working with common data models.
This paper presents our ongoing developments : reading and writing MIVOT annotations with the CDS RUST library, reading and interpreting annotations with AstroPy/PyVO and creating an add-on for the VOLLT TAP library enable to annotate query responses on the fly.
