IBM (and others) make some software to handle things like this.  Very, 
very expensive.

The kind of coding you are talking about is built into the MPEG-7 metadata 
standard; tools that implement *that* are likely to be at least similar to 
what you will want.

[There's certainly a dearth of tools that implement mpeg-7; if it were me, 
I would probably mock up an excel spreadsheet with appropriate fields and 
just set off to work...]
