Is a very long process indeed.
I tend to save all of them in Broadcast Wave File if they are in 
different formats.

I do usually write on the file name the most important infos:

country where it has been recorded
kind of sound: ambience, foley etc.
name of the thing that is producing that sound

then in the descriptrion field I try to put every other relevant info: 
location address, geo location, used mic techique, etc.

Then I'm double check that every data field is correct: fps, stamped 
time code etc
using  mixture of BWAVWriter, Wave agent and BWF metaedit.


I use Nuendo as main DAW that has a brilliant file management, similar 
to Soundminer and Audiofinder.
