Entry title
Repositories: Will be difficult to establish a value. A repository being better, more important or more respected is hard to quantify. Nevertheless, I would like to know correlations like Journals: The impact measures and stats from Reuters Journal Citation Reports will be helpful in establishing a relative value of a journal's importance within it's given category (...though calculations like Impact Factor are themselves flawed...)
Funding Agency: Again, its hard to determine a hierarchy of value for a funding agency. One interesting thing to look at might be the location of a funding agency... not sure how this would be analyzed. It might also be worth trying to establish the likelihood that national foundations (such as NSF) are more likely to have explicit sharing plans. Regardless, it would be interesting to look at the characteristics (that is it's specifications) for national government agencies vs non-profit/ charities. Not sure how to quantify the characteristics though.

- Nic Weber 16:28, 19 July 2010 (EDT):Completely unrelated to what I was working on, I wanted to go back into the ESA journals and look at their metadata registry language. But while there I noticed this recommendation for citing Scientific reports:
Scientific and Technical Reports and their Parts
NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). 1961. Climatological data–Kansas. Asheville (NC): Environmental Data and Information Service, National Climatic Center. Report NOAA-03-88-1.
Does this mean I retrieve it? ( Well after some poking around I did... [1]) But I'm still confused as to why a journal with the foresight to create and maintain a metadata registry would be so casual and unintentional about asking their authors to identify data reuse.
