Responsible use of cultural heritage requires networking of different research approaches and documentation techniques from different disciplines, as well as, the appropriate preservation and multi-functional availability of research data. Furthermore, the provision of information and the transfer of knowledge to the public are also indispensable for social acceptance and responsible and conscious handling of cultural heritage. Especially, with extensive collaborative research, this can lead to major challenges due to different data formats and requirements for the analysis and provision of data. It is, therefore, useful to first identify requirements on an informed basis. For this purpose, we demonstrate the handling of data from a research network based on the ancient cultural heritage in Trier (Germany) through a virtual museum. This museum splits into three levels of metadata abstraction and is represented by three parts: an entrance through a web front-end, a 3D museum's lobby, and a 3D open-air museum.
