<p>A virtual being database (154) made up of a set of hierarchically-arranged fields, wherein each field is tagged with access control information (152) controlling which parties (or computers) (110, 112, 114 and 116) are allowed to access each field, and which parties (or computers) (110, 112, 114 and 116) are allowed to revise each field. Some fields of the virtual being relate to personality traits (162), while other fields relate to body measurements. Also, data requests to be made by a plurality of virtual beings (154) to a remote networked computer (102) are aggregated into a single request in order to improve communication efficiency.</p> |
