TL;DR
Card sorts are a good way to obtain quality attributes and measures from respondents without measurement expertise to assess Web page quality.
Abstract
The Internet's rapid expansion has given rise to a new set of problems that require new ways to measure and evaluate Web pages. Although numerous guidelines for Web site design have been published, no recognized standards have been set for assessing Web page quality. Card sorts are a good way to obtain quality attributes and measures from respondents without measurement expertise.

This work uses a mathematical framework to propose definitions of several important measurement concepts (size, length, complexity, cohesion, coupling) and believes that the formalisms and properties it introduces are convenient and intuitive and contributes constructively to a firmer theoretical ground of software measurement.

From this model, a validation framework can be designed for analyzing whether or not a software metric could qualify as a measurement method and the coverage of the validation methods proposed for software metrics.

Despite a reappraisal of the view that knowledge acquisition (KA) forms a major bottleneck in the development of knowledge-based systems, there is still room for considerable improvement both in the efficiency of the development process and the quality of the final product.

This paper analyzes and compares some of the validation approaches currently proposed and shows that, because none of these validation approaches proposed to date in the literature covers the full spectrum of the process of measurement methods, a complete and practical validation framework does not yet exist.
