The content discusses the importance of evaluating taxonomy quality attributes in software engineering. It highlights the need for practical measurements to compare and select appropriate taxonomies based on seven defined quality attributes. The evaluation process involves reviewing literature, proposing measurements, and demonstrating their usefulness.

Researchers use taxonomies to convey information about a particular knowledge area or to support automation tasks, and practitioners use them to enable communication beyond organizational boundaries. Aims: Despite this important role of taxonomies in software engineering, their quality is seldom evaluated. Our aim is to identify and define taxonomy quality attributes that provide practical measurements, helping researchers and practitioners to compare taxonomies and choose the one most adequate for the task at hand. Methods: We reviewed 324 publications from software engineering and information systems research and synthesized when provided the definitions of quality attributes and measurements. We evaluated the usefulness of the measurements on six taxonomies from three domains. Results: We propose the definition of seven quality attributes...
