Abstract
Abstract. The advancement of geoinformatics technologies promotes national-level attention to heritage inventories and digital platforms. The management of heritage sites requires a more efficient and flexible collection methodology to collect GIS data and support extended applications. This paper discusses the system design and application of Yingshao platform, a more flexible and efficient data collection platform for Chinese heritage sites and full lifecycle management. It applis a framework of WebGIS, MobileGIS and WebGL and adopts a data storage scheme of MySQL and MangoDB. Based on the advanced system architecture, the platform has formed better solutions: (1) establishing a standard and cooperative workflow; (2) integrating diverse data sources; (3) building a flexible geospatial database with a time dimension; (4) ensuring data security and safety. In the applications in China's heritage sites, it significantly improves the efficiency and flexibility during collection. Meanwhile, the collected data could well support management scenarios. We believe that the platform could become an effective and flexible data collection and management tool for China's heritage sites, and it has the potential to become the foundation for full lifecycle management.

Summary
In the 21st century, "protection and utilization of heritage" has become a consensus to promote the sustainable development of humanity. Under the framework of sustainable management, a digital management platform is an effective way to protect and develop heritage sites. China has issued significant policies to promote effective protection and full lifecycle management of heritage sites, emphasizing the necessity of digitization. With the development of digital technology, data collection has become the foundation for heritage sites' full life cycle management. This paper mainly introduces Yingshao data collection and management platform for China’s heritage sites. We review the existing methodologies and platforms of data collection for heritage sites, mainly focus on standardization and flexibility. This paper presents the application case studies of Yingshao platform These applications demonstrate in detail how Yingshao platform can improve the data collection process with the merits of flexibility and effectiveness. Conclusion and possible directions of future development are discussed in the final section
