[Wien] Is there any relationship between DOS(E_F) and conductivity?

Dear All,
We are working on two different metallic compounds. I have calculated
total DOS at Fermi level, DOS(E_F), for these two compounds. Our
result shows that the DOS(E_F) of the first compound is larger than
the  DOS(E_F) of the second compound. Can I conclude from this
observation that the first compound is more metallic than the second
compound? Can we compare conductivity of these two compounds using
their total DOS values at Fermi levels? Can you cite a reference in
this respect?
Best regards,
S. Pourmasoud
