abstract = {In gamma-ray astronomy, a variety of data formats and
proprietary software have been traditionally used, often
developed for one specific mission or experiment. Especially
for ground-based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes
(IACTs), data and software are mostly private to the
collaborations operating the telescopes. However, there is a
general movement in science towards the use of open data and
software. In addition, the next-generation IACT instrument,
the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), will be operated as an
open observatory. We have created a Github organisation at
https://github.com/open-gamma-ray-astro where we are
developing high-level data format specifications. A public
mailing list was set up at
https://lists.nasa.gov/mailman/listinfo/open-gamma-ray-astro
and a first face-to-face meeting on the IACT high-level data
model and formats took place in April 2016 in Meudon
(France). This open multi-mission effort will help to
accelerate the development of open data formats and
open-source software for gamma-ray astronomy, leading to
synergies in the development of analysis codes and
eventually better scientific results (reproducible,
multi-mission). This write-up presents this effort for the
first time, explaining the motivation and context, the
available resources and process we use, as well as the
status and planned next steps for the data format
specifications. We hope that it will stimulate feedback and
future contributions from the gamma-ray astronomy
community.},
