MUES digitizes the entire heritage lifecycle-from excavation to conservation, exhibition, and storage-standardizing workflows to boost efficiency, cut costs, enhance preservation, and combat loss and illicit trafficking. Compliant with cultural heritage laws and data governance, it offers institutional authorities granular control through a no-code, user-friendly interface, ensuring transparency and accountability. Its modular, interoperable design supports scalable adoption and integration with international heritage platforms. Beyond institutional use, MUES democratizes cultural heritage by providing real-time access to researchers, policymakers, and the public, fostering an inclusive, participatory ecosystem. Aligned with WSIS goals, MUES serves as a sustainable, replicable model for global digital heritage governance and collaboration.Attribution 4.0 International LicenseCCS Concepts: General and Reference → Cross-computing tools and techniques; Computer systems organization → Real-time systems; Information systems → Data management systems; Information retrieval; World Wide Web; Security and privacy → Security services; Human-centered computing → Accessibility; PCB design and layout; Applied computing → Enterprise computing; Arts and humanities; Computers in other domains; Operations research; Document management and text processing, Social and professional topics → Computing / technology policyGeneral and Reference → Crosscomputing tools and techniquesComputer systems organization → Realtime systemsInformation systems → Data management systemsInformation retrievalWorld Wide WebSecurity and privacy → Security servicesHuman centered computing → AccessibilityPCB design and layoutApplied computing → Enterprise computingArts and humanitiesComputers in other domainsOperations researchDocument management and text processingSocial and professional topics → Computing / technology policy10.2312/dh.202532924 pages
