Claim One:
1. A hardware server for suggesting metadata for tagging digital media comprising: a) a communication interface coupling the server to a network; and b) a control system configured to: i) receive a request for suggested metadata for the digital media from a requesting node, the request including positional information defining a location associated with the digital media; ii) generate a metadata list based on the positional information defining the location associated with the digital media such that the metadata list includes previous metadata used to describe other images captured proximate to the location associated with the digital media, wherein the control system is configured to generate the metadata list by being further configured to: A) search 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 identify a first plurality of metadata used to tag the previously captured digital media; B) provide the positional information to a location keyword registry service and receive a second plurality of metadata associated with the location defined by the positional information from the location keyword registry service, wherein metadata of the second plurality of metadata is defined for each of a plurality of locations; C) generate the metadata list based on the first plurality of metadata and the second plurality of metadata; and iii) provide the metadata list to the requesting node via the network.
