Add validator to client #10

Open vsoch opened 6 years ago

The validator should be able to parse a file system and check for correct organization as well as a recipe

vsoch commented 5 years ago

SCIF (the scientific filesystem) is an organizational standard for (internal) organization of containers. A validator, then, should be a module within the client that can basically check that:

the organization of the /scif/ folder conforms to that described in the specification, with appropriate errors/warnings given when necessary for missing/malformed/extra content.
(bonus) the recipes included within folders are present and also valid
