Hidden metadata? Category mismatch between Calibre and iBooks on iPhone

My Calibre library of about 50 books currently has no Tags, Category, Genre or Subject fields, as indicated in the left pane in Calibre (where it says "Tags [0]", "Subject [0]" etc.). However when I look at the books in iBooks on my iPhone and sort by Category, I see a number of the books have categories attached, including some very strange ones (like Cannery Row being listed under "French literature"). See pics for details:





I would have thought iBooks categories would be built from Tags/Category/Genre/Subject but it appears they're coming from some (possibly hidden) metadata in the books. Is there a way in Calibre I can view and edit all the metadata in a book, and not just the few fields that are available under the Edit Metadata dialog box?
