seeking good metalanguage for old photographs

[Info Galway Library]

Hi,

We are about to place a collection of old black and white photographs on the
web. The photographs will be retrieved by keyword search. The keywords will
be stored in a database that will link the keyword to the photograph's
filename. To compile the keywords, we are seeking a good metalanguage or
'controlled vocabulary' that is particulary suited to cataloguing
photographs.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Regards
