Either the metadata itself is not semantically useful enough to be used, it's not in a format or syntax that's easy to use, it's not easily discoverable or it's not easily accessible. If all of those are /not/ the case (it's useful, it's easy to develop with, it's easily found and retrieved) then there's definitely an underlying issue to be solved.
