                         for different reasons. Regarding web services, communication 
                         contracts modifications are equally common, which induces the need 
                         for adaptation in every system node. To help reduce the contracts

                         understand how these contract changes occur. This paper presents a 
                         preliminary study on the evaluation of the change history of 
                         different open-source projects that defines XSD documents, 
                         specifying metrics for such files, extracting them by software 
                         repository mining and analyzing their evolution during the project 
                         life cycle. Based on the results, and considering that Web Service 
                         Definition Language (WSDL) contracts use XSD, a deeper study 
                         focused on web services projects only is further proposed to 
                         assess what exactly is changed at each contract revision, possibly 
                         revealing changing tendencies to support easy-to-adapt web service
