The needs of urban heritage itself, and the needs of different stakeholders should be respected. This system follows the principle of authenticity and integrity conservation, the coordination of conservation and sustainable development, the consideration of stakeholders, ease of use, extensibility, and security. The database should be fit for the construction of knowledge warehouse, be easy to collect and renew information. The module should be able to apply easily in everyday use situations, support smart decision making for the users. It is hoped that the research and the system will be referential for other historic cities.
