Code: Is there code? Is it submitted or existing? If so add URL to parent wiki page!!!
Py1/Py2: Is it using PyClowder1, PyClowder 2, or neither. Expectation for Beta is most will be in Py1, moving forward with new ones we will use Py2.
JSON-LD: Is proper JSON-LD generated in the MetaData and registration document (make sure to use full URI).
DCKR: Dockerized?
Test File: Sample file available?
TC: Is the tool in the tools catalog?
DPL: Is the tool deployeddockerized (if not Windows), managed by the elasticity service, and passing tests every other hour?
DL: Is the tool downloadable via Sandeep's modifications to move compute to the data?
