Here is a list of places you can go to get some experience.
Computer Games
Play computer games that are similar to the world you want to create. Games in a
similar vein to this one are generally adventure games and MUDs.
While I have tried to make game where you do not need to be a computer programmer to
write a game, knowing about objects and Object oriented approaches would not help.
This game system has strong connections to interactive fiction. So have a look at what
is being done in this field.
The Object Oriented data structure is primarily based on lexical hierarchies. I have
used these as the basis because they have thousands of years of language development
behind them and hence are a good point for the codification of information.
Role-playing games can be of most help to the world author, because they let you see
how the underlying system works. Writing a role-playing system is similar to writing a
game world. Writing a role-playing scenario or module is the same as writing a game.
