    Document Type Definition (dtd) Metrics
    (Editura Acad Romane, 2011) Basci, Dilek; Misra, Sanjay
    In this paper, we present two complexity metrics for the assessment of schema quality written in Document Type Definition (DTD) language. Both "Entropy (E) metric: E(DTD)" and "Distinct Structured Element Repetition Scale (DSERS) metric: DSERS(DTD)" are intended to measure the structural complexity of schemas in DTD language. These metrics exploit a directed graph representation of schema document and consider the complexity of schema due to its similar structured elements and the occurrences of these elements. The empirical and theoretical validations of these metrics prove the robustness of the metrics.

    Entropy as a Measure of Quality of Xml Schema Document
    (Zarka Private Univ, 2011) Basci, Dilek; Misra, Sanjay; Computer Engineering
    In this paper, a metric for the assessment of the structural complexity of eXtensible Markup Language schema document is formulated. The present metric 'Schema Entropy is based on entropy concept and intended to measure the complexity of the schema documents written in W3C XML Schema Language due to diversity in the structures of its elements. The SE is useful in evaluating the efficiency of the design of Schemas. A good design reduces the maintainability efforts. Therefore, our metric provides valuable information about the reliability and maintainability of systems. In this respect, this metric is believed to be a valuable contribution for improving the quality of XML-based systems. It is demonstrated with examples and validated empirically through actual test cases.
