In various fields, ISO/IEC 11179-based MDR (Metadata Registry) systems have been developed. However, the current systems do not observe the standard, so inconsistency issue between metadata arises. Most of all, there exist several problems because ISO/IEC 11179 provides no standardized access method. SQL/MDR has been suggested to resolve those problems. SQL/MDR supports search operations, but it does not provide operations for vaild building and safe access for MDR. This paper, in the aforementioned issues, suggests MCL(Metadata Control Language) to guarantee safe and easy access control. MCL offers predefined roles and authority of user groups defined in ISO/IEC 11179 Part 6, and users are assigned to a proper user group. With such a way, MCL increases usability and security.
