This document describes the design principles of the Metadata Querying Language (MQL) implemented in ATLAS Metadata Interface (AMI), a metadata-oriented domain-specific language allowing to query databases without knowing the relation between tables. With this simplified yet generic grammar, MQL permits writing complex queries more simply than with Structured Query Language (SQL).
