A key online and off-line software component of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is Shiva. Shiva provides a readily extendible framework upon which the SDSS data reduction pipeline software is built. In this paper we present an introduction to the Shiva data analysis framework. We briefly discuss the features and the inherent prototyping and rapid development capabilities that make Shiva an integral part in the on-going development of SDSS software.
