One problem that pops up sometimes is when is talking about what one program calls a metadata tag and what are the actual tags that are written. I attempted to go though all of the metadata in my copy of Lightroom (v. 4.4) and make a translation between the two. If anyone notices any errors or if a different version of Lightroom does things differently, let me know or post below and I'll add it in.
At some point, I'll try to do the same with some other programs I have access too.
Let me know if anyone has any suggestions as well.

Image->ISO Country Code In Lightroom, ISO Country Code must consist of two or three ASCII letters, or three ASCII numerals. The IPTC standard states that Country-PrimaryLocationCode should have a length of three. While writing to Country-PrimaryLocationCode, ExifTool will respond with an error if the length is not three, but this limit can be overwritten with the -m option | IPTC:Country-PrimaryLocationCode XMP:CountryCode |
