The best, or perhaps only, way to integrate such information is to implement your own version of UserSimilarity or ItemSimilarity and then use a user-based or item-based recommender. You can implement whatever similarity rule you think is best according to your metadata. There's not a lot to be said unless you can say more about exactly what metadata you have.
