Importing Metadata into Indesign

I suppose you mean EXIF data and I think you need an intermediate utility to extract these to txt files wich in turn can be imported to ID. The folowing is a quote from:
... there’s software that allows you to extract EXIF information to regular text files. While there’s a multitude of programs that allows you to extract the information for an individual shot, I know only two that allow you to batch-extract them. ImageMagick works fine on Windows, Macintosh and Linux, although its user interface is quite complicated, since it is a command line utility. The other one is Breeze System’s Downloader Pro which allows for extraction of EXIF information when downloading images from your memory card.
Good luck
