Abstract
In this paper we describe a querying model that allows users to find virtual worlds and objects in these worlds, using as a base a new virtual worlds representation model and a fuzzy approach to solve the queries. The system has been developed and checked in two different kinds of worlds. Both the design and current implementation of the system are described.
