+h2(#querying-the-vocabulary-definition). Querying the vocabulary definition
+
+The Python SDK provides facilities to interact with the "active metadata vocabulary":{{ site.baseurl }}/admin/metadata-vocabulary.html in the system. The developer can do key and value lookups in a case-insensitive manner:
+
+{% codeblock as python %}
+from arvados import api, vocabulary
+voc = vocabulary.load_vocabulary(api('v1'))
+
+[k.identifier for k in set(voc.key_aliases.values())]
+# Example output: ['IDTAGCOLORS', 'IDTAGFRUITS', 'IDTAGCOMMENT', 'IDTAGIMPORTANCES', 'IDTAGCATEGORIES', 'IDTAGSIZES', 'IDTAGANIMALS']
+voc['IDTAGSIZES'].preferred_label
+# Example output: 'Size'
+[v.preferred_label for v in set(voc['size'].value_aliases.values())]
+# Example output: ['S', 'M', 'L', 'XL', 'XS']
+voc['size']['s'].aliases
+# Example output: ['S', 'small']
+voc['size']['Small'].identifier
+# Example output: 'IDVALSIZES2'
+{% endcodeblock %}
+
+h2(#translating-between-vocabulary-identifiers-and-labels). Translating between vocabulary identifiers and labels
+
+Client software might need to present properties to the user in a human-readable form or take input from the user without requiring them to remember identifiers. For these cases, there're a couple of conversion methods that take a dictionary as input like this:
+
+{% codeblock as python %}
+from arvados import api, vocabulary
+voc = vocabulary.load_vocabulary(api('v1'))
+
+voc.convert_to_labels({'IDTAGIMPORTANCES': 'IDVALIMPORTANCES1'})
+# Example output: {'Importance': 'Critical'}
+voc.convert_to_identifiers({'creature': 'elephant'})
+# Example output: {'IDTAGANIMALS': 'IDVALANIMALS3'}
+{% endcodeblock %}
+
+h2(#create-a-project). Create a Project
+
+{% codeblock as python %}
+import arvados
+
+parent_project_uuid = "zzzzz-j7d0g-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
+project_name = "My project"
+
+g = arvados.api().groups().create(body={
+ "group": {
+ "group_class": "project",
+ "owner_uuid": parent_project_uuid,
+ "name": project_name,
+ }}).execute()
+
+print("New project uuid is", g["uuid"])
+{% endcodeblock %}
