About camlhmp

Naming

I really wanted to name a tool with "camel" in it because they are my wife's favorite animal🐪 and camels also remind me of my friends in Oman!

Once it was decided YAML was going to be the format for defining schemas, I immediately was drawn into "Classification through YAML", or CAML", but quickly found out many others had also thought of this (for other use cases). We went through a few other iterations of CAML without any success. Fortunately, Tim Read came through with a clutch save suggested "Heuristic Mapping Protocol". So, here we are - camlhmp!

Funding

Support for this project came (in part) from the Wyoming Public Health Division, and the Center for Applied Pathogen Epidemiology and Outbreak Control (CAPE).
