Abstract(in English) Most of electric documents such as CALS documents are described with some structured format to improve reusability and searchability. It is important that qualified documents are available with software, since there are lots of areas to apply in the world. However, existing metrics for electric manuals are focused to its contents; it is hard to evaluate reusability and searchability with the point aimed at its structures. In this study, we propose a new metrics of document structures for manuals written in HTML. Our metrics is based on statistics of lots of existing manuals. We also propose a methodology to improve a structure of manual which is detected by our metrics. With our metrics and methodology, we also show that how to improve a low-qualified manual.
