Complementary information over a large energy range appears to be the best way to study the class properties of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). While radio data provide superior spatial resolution required for the analysis of source structures and their morphology, optical data are a necessary ingredient for the classification of the objects and for the determination of their redshifts. Finally, X-ray (and more recently γ-ray) observations give vital information about the energetics of the central engines and on the physical conditions of the ‘heart of the machine’.
