[Metadatalibrarians] Help for a beginner

Here at Santa Clara University we are scanning the pages of baptismal and marriage records of the Mission Santa Clara. Some of the entries are not legible so we have created an excel spreadsheet with the names of the brides and grooms and officiants, with a column for the dates.
 
Can anyone recommend some sites that have done similar projects that I could look at? The metadata needs to be crosswalked to Dublin Core and are just duplicated entries of what is being scanned. I am tempted to put the brides, grooms and officiants in a subject element. If I do, is there any way to distinguish what kind of subjects they are with different labels? Bride  Groom Officiant (or is the subject element restricted to one label?)
 
Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
 
Thank you,
