Remarks:

> - Depth: The depth is the maximum length of a node to the root entity. Lower scores are generally better.

> - Inheritance: A level of inheritance defined by either one of specialization, instantiation, extension, importation, or implementation.

> - Scoring: The maximum path length is determined for each entity in question.
