[Metadatalibrarians] VRACore4 used to describe buildings

Hello: 
I'm looking for advice. We would like to capture metadata about buildings and are considering using VRACore4 as a schema. 

The type of information we will be capturing includes: 
- name of the building 
- description of the building 
- type of building 
- it dimensions 
- the materials used to construct it 
- the architects and builders 
- location 
- associated dates (when it was built or opened and when it was destroyed) 
- images associated with the building 

Am I on the right track with using VRACore4 or should I be looking at a different metadata schema (QDC?) ? I've looked at the examples on the http://www.vraweb.org/projects/vracore4/ website and have created a sample xml file that I have attached. Advice or feedback would be appreciated. 

Thanks, 
Donald
