We present a set of low-resolution empirical spectral energy distribution (SED) templates for active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and galaxies in the wavelength range from 0.03 ?m to 30 ?m based on the multi-wavelength photometric observations of the NOAO Deep-Wide Field Survey Boötes field and the spectroscopic observations of the AGN and Galaxy Evolution Survey. Our training sample is comprised of 14,448 galaxies in the redshift range 0 <~ z <~ 1 and 5347 likely AGNs in the range 0 <~ z <~ 5.58. The galaxy templates correspond
