With the advent of a new generation of telescopes (INTEGRAL, Fermi, H.E.S.S.,\nMAGIC, VERITAS, MILAGRO) and the prospects of planned observatories such as CTA\nor HAWC, gamma-ray astronomy is becoming an integral part of modern\nastrophysical research. Analysing gamma-ray data is still a major challenge,\nand today relies on a large diversity of tools and software frameworks that\nwere specifically developed for each instrument. With the goal of facilitating\nand unifying the analysis of gamma-ray data, we are currently developing an\ninnovative data analysis toolbox, called the GammaLib, that enables gamma-ray\ndata analysis in an instrument independent way. We will present the basic ideas\nthat are behind the GammaLib, and describe its architecture and usage.\n
