This framework uses object-oriented Perl to handle VOEvent messages. It provides a robust foundation for building and managing applications that deal with these types of messages.
The VOEvent initiative seeks to establish a universally-accepted protocol for packaging, transmitting, archiving and publishing data capturing transient phenomena in the sky. Its ultimate goal is to facilitate rapid detection and response to such events, by enabling easier and wider search of relevant archives, community alerts, as well as better interoperability between different databases.
Importantly, VOEvent is designed to cater to a broad range of transient events, including not just photon events, but also gravitational waves, neutrinos, air showers, among others. Through this initiative, it is expected that robotic telescopes, observatories and other stakeholders will be better able to respond to transient events as they occur, thereby expanding our understanding of the universe.
