RENDERING OF ARTIFACTS IN A VIRTUAL UNIVERSE ENVIRONMENT IN RESPONSE TO USER TAGS
First Claim
1. A method for user-defined configuration of a rendering of a virtual universe domain environment, comprising:
- in response to an avatar of a second user of a virtual universe domain environment engaging an artifact item within the virtual universe domain environment, and in response to a compliance value total vote count of votes for assigning a tag to the artifact item within the virtual universe domain meeting a compliance prerequisite total vote count minimum threshold, a processor rendering the artifact item to the second user in compliance with the information of the tag for rendering the artifact item.

Abstract
An artifact tag includes rendering data and a protocol for applying the tag to an artifact of the virtual universe domain, the protocol including a compliance prerequisite for rendering the tag information to user of the virtual universe domain environment. A user requesting application of the tag to an artifact item within the virtual universe domain causes a setting or updating of a protocol compliance value. An avatar of a user engaging the artifact item causes a virtual universe client of the engaging user avatar to render the item to the engaging user in compliance with the tag rendering data if a set or updated compliance value meets a compliance prerequisite.

2. The method of claim 2, further comprising:
-
integrating computer-readable program code into a computer system comprising the processor, a computer readable memory and a computer readable tangible storage medium; wherein the computer readable program code is embodied on the computer readable tangible storage medium and comprises instructions that, when executed by the processor via the computer readable memory, cause the processor to perform the step of rendering the artifact item to the second user in compliance with the information of the tag for rendering the artifact item in response to the avatar of the second user engaging the artifact item within the virtual universe domain environment, and in response to the compliance value total vote count of votes for assigning the tag to the artifact item within the virtual universe domain meeting the compliance prerequisite total vote count minimum threshold.

9. A computer program product for user-defined configuration of a rendering of a virtual universe domain environment, the computer program product comprising:
-
a computer readable tangible storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith; wherein the computer readable program code comprises instructions that, when executed by a computer processor, cause the computer processor to render an artifact item of a virtual universe domain to a second user in compliance with information of a tag for rendering the artifact item within the virtual universe domain, in response to an avatar of the second user engaging the artifact item within the virtual universe domain environment, and in response to a compliance value total vote count of votes for assigning the tag to the artifact item within the virtual universe domain meeting a compliance prerequisite total vote count minimum threshold. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system, comprising:
-
a processor in communication with a computer readable memory and a tangible computer-readable storage medium; wherein the processor, when executing program instructions stored on the tangible computer-readable storage medium via the computer readable memory; renders an artifact item of a virtual universe domain to a second user in compliance with information of a tag for rendering the artifact item within the virtual universe domain, in response to an avatar of the second user engaging the artifact item within the virtual universe domain environment, and in response to a compliance value total vote count of votes for assigning the tag to the artifact item within the virtual universe domain meeting a compliance prerequisite total vote count minimum threshold. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
