Abstract:	In this study, we introduce a virtual world database system called "VWDB," which is currently under development at Ochanomizu University with the aim of creating a new generation database system for the cyberspace age. The system is constructed by integrating a virtual reality system and an object-oriented database system. In this paper, a VWDB prototype system architecture, a VWDB database schema definition language, and a VWDB data manipulation language are described. In particular, the design and implementation of the VWDB multi-modal data manipulation language is introduced, since the VWDB provides a virtual world as the user's database interface. It is natural to support a multi-modal database language so that users can interact with the VWDB database by means of gesture and voice. An automata-based approach is described for designing and implementing the multi-modal language. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
