Some objects may have an
extended meta-model with 20 metadata elements while others may only contain only a few.
The number of attachments is another measurement that can be taken on a specific asset.
The thinking here is that objects that have extended unstructured documentation are better
understood than those with only a few attachments. Examples of attachments could include
logical models, UML models, user guides, and installation instructions.
Content metrics should be captured on a monthly basis and reviewed by utilizing trend
analysis software which evaluates the information over an extended period of time. Ideally,
the process of collection should be automated and have the ability to capture metrics at any
point in time. What growth percentage should be applied to the content metrics? Again,
long-term success is not defined by the explosion of growth in the first year but by the subsequent
three to five years. The first few years may very well have triple digit growth, but
sustaining this is near impossible over the long term.
