Software quality is a many-faceted concept that depends on the kind
of artifact to be measured, the context where measurement takes place, the quality
framework used, and others. Furthermore, there is a great deal of standards,
white papers, and in general proposals of any kind related to software quality.
Consequently, a unified software quality framework seems to be needed to
compare, combine or select these proposals and to define new ones. In this paper
we propose a MOF-compliant approach for structuring quality models in
order to formalise software quality issues and deal with quality information
modelling. We propose two types of models: a generic model, situated in the
M2 MOF layer; and a hierarchy of reference models, defined in the M1 and M0
MOF layers. The generic model elements are derived from the UML metamodel
by specialization. Then, we can instantiate them to get reference models
that formalise (combinations of) existing proposals which may be further refined
for defining quality frameworks to be used in different experiences. Each
of these models is divided into three parts, namely fundamental concepts, metrics
and context. We illustrate our proposal providing a multi-level reference
model in the context of collection libraries quality evaluation.
