if not the IPTC Extension Schema, it would be nice to create and manage custom
metadata fields with controlled vocabulary support.

i'm about to scan a lot of negatives (about 50000) and add them to an existing
digital archive and it is indispensable to repeat the physic organization of
the negatives (archive/folder/sleeve/photo number) on the metadata of the
scanned images. the sad thing about this is that the field reserved for this
kind of data in IPTC Core, IPTC Status/Instructions, is already used by the
existing digital images to inform if the image has been treated.

the controlled vocabulary is also necessary since we need to minimize human
typing errors (we are working with 4 voluntaries, two of them not familiar with
computers/keyboards, and we want them all to like this experience)

thanks in advance!
digiKam is a great app and seems the obvious choice for us since it's free and
open, we do not want to use proprietary software just because this little
problem.

p.s. i'm not familiar with open source development or even with programing as a
whole, so if i'm looking for help in the wrong place, please inform me.
