Metrics catalogue
Metrics Catalogue
To unify metrics across all evaluations all metrics should be registered in this Metrics Catalogue. So - when picking metrics for an evaluation run through the catalogue and pick any already defined or enter a new metric when needed.
| Metric |
Datatype |
Description |
Example |
Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NumberOfObjectsPerHour | integer | Number of objects that can be processed per hour |
250 |
Could be used both for component evaluations on a single machine and on entire platform setups |
| IdentificationCorrectnessInPercent | integer |
Defining a statistical measure for binary evaluations - see detailed specification below | 85 % |
Between 0 and 100 |
| MaxObjectSizeHandledInGbytes |
integer |
The max file size a workflow/component has handled |
80 |
Specify in Gbytes |
| PlanEfficiencyInHours | integer |
Number of hours it takes to build one preservation plan with Plato |
20 |
Specify in hours |
| ThroughputGbytesPerMinute |
integer |
The throughput of data measured in Gybtes per minute |
5 |
Specify in Gbytes per minute |
| ReliableAndStableAssessment | boolean |
Manual asessment on if the experiment performed reliable and stable |
true |
|
| NumberOfFailedFiles | integer |
Number of files that failed in the workflow |
0 |

An attribute/measure catalogue is also developed in PW - this evaluation metrics catalogue will be merged with the PW catalogue in year-3.
If you want to have a quick glance at the PW catalogue its located here (google docs): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0An_F2fZCFRRtdGZ6NFg0eFI3b3NIdktMSzBtWmhKUHc&pli=1#gid=0![]()
Write to Christhop Becker at [email protected]
to ask for access to the google doc
If you already are familiar with the PW catalogue you are off cause most welcome to use already existing metrics from in there - this will make the merging in year-3 much easier. But this is currently NOT a requirement.
Binary evaluation method (FMeasure)
We use sensitivity and specificity as statistical measures of the performance of the binary classification test where
Sensitivity = Σ true different / (Σ true different + Σ false similar)
and
Specificity = Σ true similar / (Σ true similar + Σ false different)
and the F-measure is calculated on this basis as shown in the table below:

This is one suggested way which is nicely applicable if we test for binary correctness of calculations, i.e. it is applicable for characterisation and QA
