  1. Complexity is represented as a number of public methods available in the respective Java API interface or different web services signatures where the former is not available. Richness is measured as a number of hits returned from a non exact query for 'thymus'. A logarithm of richness and complexity quotient is provided as a single score to judge the relation between the two. It is higher the richer the source and less complex it is to access [created on 27-07-2010].
