Deliverable 2.1: Terminology, definitions and type of Virtual Museum.  This document describes the work currently in progress within the Virtual Museum Transnational Project (V-MUST.NET), and specifically within the Work Package 2, dedicated to the creation of a common language in the Virtual Museum domain. This deliverable describes the adopted methodology used to build an on line common database that collects terms and definitions. It also defines the main 8 categories chosen to initially classify the domain and used as “glossaries” to collect related-terms.

Deliverable 2.3: state of the art on Virtual Museums in Europe and outside Europe. This document describes the work currently in progress within the Virtual Museum Transnational Project (V-MUST.NET), within the Work Package 2 “house of Questions” dedicated to establish requirements and criteria analysis in the Virtual Museum domain.

Deliverable 2.5 Needed Microresearches: This document describes the attempt to define the term “micro-researches” as presented in the Description of Work, i.e. those small research efforts oriented to fulfill specific needs raised in the Virtual Museums community. With the term micro-research we intend a specific application problem requiring a self-contained research effort, small in terms of effort and resources, which are not part of the current V-MUST workplan but can be integrated in the workplan to fit th identified needs.
