A storage system query mechanism and corresponding techniques for implementing queries are provided. In one exemplary method, queries are processed by providing a server-side meta-model for creating queries on the server; and providing a client-side meta-model for creating queries on the client, wherein the client and the server are based on different programming languages and wherein the queries created on the client are translated from a language of the client into a language of the server for processing by the server. The query results are optionally converted to data transfer objects for presentation on the client. In an exemplary query service method, at least one base meta-model is provided having a plurality of base classes and a domain-specific injection point; and at least one domain-specific meta-model is received and injected into the base meta-model at the domain-specific injection point.
