Recommendations
For many media it is desirable to use a geocoding template in addition to the Information template.

Microformat
This template also emits an hCalendar microformat marking the creation of the image as an event. To do this, it requires the Date template, and takes the file name as the "summary" property. Optionally, it can include the Creator as an attendee and an hCard microformat, and use the contents of Description as the hCalendar's "description" property. Coordinates may be included by use of Location or Object location.
