Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for suggesting keywords for tagging digital media comprising: receiving a request for suggested keywords for digital media from a requesting node at a keyword service via a network, the request including positional information defining a location where the digital media was captured; generating a list of suggested keywords that are metadata at the keyword service based on the positional information defining the location where the digital media was captured and a location of a digital camera at a time of capturing the digital media such that the list of suggested keywords includes previous keywords used to describe other images captured proximate to the location where the digital media was captured, wherein generating the list of suggested keywords comprises at least two processes selected from the group consisting of: a) searching a plurality of digital media previously captured by a plurality of owners to find previously captured digital media captured at the location or proximate to the location defined by the positional information, and identifying a first plurality of keywords used to tag the previously captured digital media; b) searching a plurality of digital media previously captured by an owner of the digital media to find previously captured digital media captured at the location or proximate to the location defined by the positional information, and identifying a second plurality of keywords used to tag the previously captured digital media; and c) providing the positional information to a location keyword registry service and receiving a third plurality of keywords associated with the location defined by the positional information from the location keyword registry service, wherein the location keyword registry service provides the third plurality of keywords based on a collaborative process with a plurality of users defining at least one keyword for each of a plurality of locations including the location of the digital camera; and providing the list of suggested keywords to the requesting node via the network, wherein a user at the requesting node selects at least one of the list of suggested keywords to store in association with the digital media at the requesting node.
