System and method for abstraction of objects for cross virtual universe deployment

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage device or memory having readable program code embodied in the storage device or memory, the computer program product includes at least one component configured to:

• overlay controls on a window of a first virtual universe;
• adapt the controls to a syntax of a first virtual universe server associated with the first virtual universe;
• obtain an object in the first virtual universe server using the overlaid controls;
• translate an object from one syntax specific to the first virtual universe server to a syntax that is specific to a second virtual universe server by using a database query syntax to read and write into databases of various virtual universes;
• and
• automatically deploy the translated object between the first and second virtual universe server when the translated object is changed,
• wherein the overlaid controls comprise a plurality of commands which include selecting the object, setting object information, displaying the object information, and designating the object for abstraction, and
• wherein the translating the object and the automatically deploying the translated object are performed by a first adapter configured to map the object, including associated metadata, from the first virtual universe server to the second virtual universe server.
