# Metadata Examples

If you want to process both standardized and non-standardized metadata fields, you can iterate over metadata elements without checking an element's standard key – both standardized and non-standardized metadata can be handled in the same way. However, standardization provides a way to handle common types of metadata - using the same code for all file formats. Below is an illustrative example.

Copy

    # Open a document
    doc = session.open(file_path)

    # Iterate over metadata fields
    for element in doc.metadata:

        # Skip non-standard fields
        if element.standard_key == kv.MetadataKey.Other:
            continue

        # Do something with the standardized WordCount field
        if element.standard_key == kv.MetadataKey.WordCount:
            print(f"The word count is {element.value}")
