Abstract: We present the SIMPLE Archive alongside a Python-based database management package, AstrodbKit2. SIMPLE is an archive of low mass stars, brown dwarfs, and exoplanets driven by community curation and review using GitHub. SIMPLE relies on AstrodbKit2 to convert back and forth from a document-store model of the database to a more standard relational database that can be used with established packages like SQLAlchemy. In this poster, we present the architecture of the SIMPLE database and how using AstrodbKit2 facilitates a git workflow for reviewing and approving database modifications.
