Erratum
Unfortunately both the HTML and the PDF versions of this article [1] on the SpringerOpen web site contained typographical errors in the superscripted citations to the list of footnotes/endnotes and in some hyperlinks to tables. Two URLs to the data reports have been expanded to take the reader directly to the full set of mandated annual reports without further searching.
