+# VOEvent Sky Event Reporting Metadata
+
+## What is it?
+
+VOEvent: **V**irtual **O**bservatory **Event** Sky Event Reporting Metadata 
+
+VOEvent defines the content and meaning of a standard information packet for 
+representing, transmitting, publishing and archiving information about a 
+transient celestial event, with the implication that timely follow-up is of 
+interest. The objective is to motivate the observation of targets-of-opportunity, 
+to drive robotic telescopes, to trigger archive searches, and to alert the 
+community. VOEvent is focused on the reporting of photon events, but events 
+mediated by disparate phenomena such as neutrinos, gravitational waves, and 
+solar or atmospheric particle bursts may also be reported.
+
+## Status?
+
+The last stable version is
+**[REC-2.0](http://www.ivoa.net/documents/VOEvent/)**.
+
+The next version is prepared in this repository. 
+_It is not yet finalized and so, should not be considered
+yet as stable for operational implementation._
+
+See also the section
+[Releases](https://github.com/ivoa-std/VOEvent/releases) of this GitHub Repository.
