Looks like I am the first one to post info: I am Prof. Robert Bloomfield at Cornell University, and interested in any efforts to publish reliable, consistent and meaninful data on virtual worlds, which will aid the goals of interoperability and helping the metaverse grow.

Suppose I work for large corporation A. It uses a virtual world from ATech. Suppose that local government B uses a virtual world from BSys. Suppose that we want to connect these virtual worlds, say for doing a training exercise. Perhaps A has a large chemical plant, and B wants to figure out how to fight fires in the vincinity of that plant.
