Overview: This paper describes the empirical evaluation of a set of proposed metrics for evaluating the quality of data models. A total of twenty nine candidate metrics were originally proposed, each of which measured a different aspect of quality of a data model. Action research was used to evaluate the usefulness of the metrics in five application development projects in two private sector organisations. Of the metrics originally proposed, only three "Survived" the empirical validation process, and two new metrics were discovered. The result was a set of five metrics which participants felt were manageable to apply in practice.
