This is exactly what future digiKam 0.10 released dedicaced to KDE4 will
work, excepted that XMP will be used by priority order to hosts metadata
from photograph. IPTC is always supported but XMP is better : UTF8 support
and no string size limitation.

Current 0.10 release already support XMP but search tools is broken and
still to improve to support new metadata like XMP, GPS location, fuzzy
search based on Haar matrix etc...

digiKam 0.10 release is planed around middle of 2008, not before... See
digiKam web project page for details.
