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.
