Why care about Metadata & the Semantic Web?
In a nutshell:

Employing metadata results in a more efficient, robust,
cost effective solution with fewer risks and greater
flexibility.

It enables us to manage our information and resources
more effectively with less overhead.

It provides users with better (more efficient and accurate)
access to those resources which are most important to
them.
