In the context of calibre's (OPDS/HTML) Content Server:
  1. Calibre does not have any special support of BookMaster. So whatever configuration you choose in calibre is common to all compatible clients, such as its first intended client Stanza, which pioneered OPDS catalog.
  2. Calibre does not (seem to) have any way to let you choose which columns (metadata) to present to its clients.
  3. Regardless of what Calibre chooses to present, BookMaster downloads the following kinds of metadata, if available, from any compatible OPDS server, including Calibre's:
    Title, Series, Volume (Series Number), Author, Description, Tags and Cover Image.
    All of the above types of metadata are editable within BookMaster. Open any book's Book Info View and tap Edit to see more details [screenshot]

It would be useful, for example, to set up Sets in Calibre before transferring.
I don't think that's possible, as there is no equivalent "Book Set" concept in Calibre as in BookMaster.
