Have you checked what kind of metadata others record?
Here are some quick results from a Google search. Looks

Informal, IPTC-related:

IPTC Photo Metadata White Paper 2007:
http://www.iptc.org/goto/?phmdwp2007

There are whole conferences about photo metadata:

People at W3C made experiments as well:

Another experiment, people-related:
