      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.},
