which minimum reporting and other metadata are typically provided?

[Hilmar Lapp]

Here's a really interesting study getting at the issue of metrics for metadata quality evaluation, and in the course of applying their metric to a large microbial genome database obtain some actual data of which metadata researchers provide, in this case for microbial genome and metagenome sequencing studies (which is covered by the MIGS minimum reporting standard).

Liolios, Konstantinos, Lynn Schriml, Lynette Hirschman, Ioanna Pagani, Bahador Nosrat, Peter Sterk, Owen White, et al. 2012. “The Metadata Coverage Index (MCI): A Standardized Metric for Quantifying Database Metadata Richness.” Standards in Genomic Sciences 6 (3) (July 30): 438–47.

I'd imagine Elliott would be quite interested in Table 1.
