Greetings,
I am not sure what kind of "metadata" you need to connect to a 
datasheet.  Creating a repository may be redundant and not worth the 
effort.  I use the following for parts datasheets, especially old parts 
I may still need data for.  Their parts search engines are pretty good.

http://www.datasheetarchive.com/
http://www.datasheet4u.net/
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ganswijk/chipdir/

There may be others out there.
That said, I often regret getting rid of my collection of databooks in 
the past, assuming I could always get the data on the manufacturer's 
websites and doing so would clear shelf space.  Boy, was I wrong about 
the websites!
Enjoy!
Girvin Herr
