ModelMetadataType has no effect on model in asp.net core 2.0

Question

[ModelMetadataType(typeof(ITemporalData))]
public partial class Person : ITemporalData
{

}


public partial class Person
{
        public DateTime SysStartDate { get; set; }
        public DateTime SysEndDate { get; set; }
}

public interface ITemporalData
{
        [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
        DateTime SysStartDate { get; set; }

        [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
        DateTime SysEndDate { get; set; }
}

Here is example of sample code.

ModelMetadataType has no effect (DatabaseGenerated data annotation doesn't added to the appropriate properties). Am I doing something wrong?
