Tony,
I would certainly start my research by having a good look at the work of
the SEPIA (Safeguarding European Photographic Images for Access) project
and the SEPIADES data element set.
This seems to be the most relevant data set for old photographs.
As for public viewing, I suspect the best thing is to try and base your
'public' system on your full data set but map the data over to more easy to
understand terms such as 'who' 'where' 'when' etc.
SEPIA can be found at: http://www.knaw.nl/ecpa/sepia/
And the SEPIA Data Element Set at:
