Abstract: A system for performing an ad hoc query comprising a query service operating on a processor and configured to receive an ad hoc query in a domain-specific language. A query parsing service operating on the processor and configured to receive a validate request and a parse request from the query service and to return a query object to the query service. A queryable interface operating on the processor and configured to receive the query object and to transmit the query object to one or more framework services for execution. New domain key words can be introduced dynamically and matched to registered queryable services to process queries containing those key words.
