We classify several notions of norm attaining Lipschitz maps which were introduced previously, and present the relations among them in order to verify proper inclusions. We also analyze some results for the sets of Lipschitz maps satisfying each of these properties to be dense or not in Lip 0 (X, Y ). For instance, we characterize a Banach space Y with the Radon-Nikodým property in terms of the denseness of norm attaining Lipschitz maps with values in Y . Further, we introduce a property called the local directional Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property for Lipschitz compact maps, which extends the one studied previously for scalar-valued functions, and provide some new positive results.Recently, a few papers dealing with alternative types of norm attainment for Lipschitz maps defined on Banach spaces have appeared. Kadets, Martín and Soloviova [16, Definition 4.2] introduced another possible definition called (locally) directionally norm attaining Lipschitz function. On the other hand, Godefroy [14] defined other two ways in which a Lipschitz map can attain its norm. We also refer to section 8.8 of the very recent book [7] for an exposition of the results of the two aforementioned papers [14,16]. Our first aim in this paper is to introduce some variations of these definitions of norm attainment and study the possible denseness of the set of Lipschitz maps attaining each of such norms. We first provide with the definitions used throughout the paper. Definitions 1.2 and 1.3 were first introduced in [14], and Definitions 1.4 and 1.5 were first considered in [16] only for Lipschitz (real-valued) functions, which are easily extensible to the general (vector-valued) Lipschitz maps. We will use the usual notation of B X , S X , X * for the closed unit ball, unit sphere, and topological dual, respectively, of a Banach space X.Definition 1.2 ([14]). We say that f ∈ Lip 0 (X, Y ) attains its norm at x ∈ X through a derivative in the direction e ∈ S X if f (x, e) = lim t→0
