You may be interested in some of the standards available for your
application domain. E.g.: vCard, FOAF, hCard.

The general question you make sounds like: do I need to reinvent the
wheel every time I need a new model for my new application? If there
are libraries and design patterns for coding, aren't there reference
proposals for application domains?

There are indeed, in recent years a lot of work has been done on XML
formats, microformats, ontologies and Semantic Web. So, in many cases
it's likely one has not to start from scratch. Although, in my
experience, almost always you will need customization and adaptation
of what you find out there.
