If you are thinking of improving composition, metadata is not the answer! Composition is imagined and seen in the mind and seeing a picture is an art, not a technology. You still need technology, but that comes as standard, executed free from its demands. Without it and taking music as a comparison, it is like getting a pianist to interpret the works of Beethoven who can't read music. The moment we put the exposure inside a camera, we started to lose the plot of photography thinking that it was the answer to everything, including composition and sadly we still do.  Computerisation in a camera is only an aid, not an answer. You still need to understand 'real' traditional photographic values to interpret artistically whatever you are taking.
