There are several things to think about with respect to photos and metadata.

1. The What: this is the elements of the metadata's data. The "Who", "What", "Where", "When", "Why and "How" of the photo.

2. The How: The technical storage of the metadata. Where is all of this data stored.

These two issues are discussed in their own child pages. There is a lot to say on each one.

In brief the What tries to answer the question What kind of meta-data should or can be collected?

Whereas the How tries to answer the question What should or can be be done with this meta-data?
