GeezerVison is showing github.com — Add lineage credits: pg_mfserv predecessor, AUTHORS, CITATION by estebanzimanyi · Pull Request #1 · MobilityDB/MobilityAPI-Python Conversation
|
| Phase | Repo | Contributors |
|---|---|---|
| Founding (March 2024) | MobilityDB/pg_mfserv — to be archived as the predecessor |
Maxime Schoemans (initial commit, endpoint design); Victor Morabito (main pg_mfserv development) |
| Current (2025–) | This repo | Sirine Meraoui (current maintainer; structured resource layout, tests, OGC conformance) |
Both phases at Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB).
Files
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
README.md |
New ## History and Acknowledgements section between ## Developement and ## License; chronological contributor list with one-line descriptions |
AUTHORS.md (new) |
Structured contributor list, split by founding phase / current phase, with role descriptions per contributor |
CITATION.cff (new) |
Machine-readable citation metadata; rendered by GitHub's "Cite this repository" widget; references: block cites pg_mfserv as predecessor work for Zenodo / academic citation tooling |
License declared in CITATION.cff: PostgreSQL (matching the MobilityDB main project).
Companion PR
A symmetric PR on MobilityDB/pg_mfserv prepends an archive banner to that repo's README pointing forward to MobilityAPI. After that lands, pg_mfserv will be archived (one click).
The two PRs together give bidirectional credit:
- pg_mfserv credits MobilityAPI as successor (in the archive banner).
- MobilityAPI credits pg_mfserv as predecessor (here).

All reactions
MobilityAPI's working tree is the result of two distinct contribution phases that today's repo doesn't make visible: 1. **pg_mfserv (March 2024)** — the founding OGC API – Moving Features Python server for MobilityDB, authored at ULB. - Maxime Schoemans (@mschoema) — initial commit, endpoint design. - Victor Morabito (@MrMaxime1er) — main developer of the pg_mfserv codebase: column discovery, request handling, exception handling, route refactors. 2. **MobilityAPI (2025–)** — the current production-grade implementation, also at ULB. - Sirine Meraoui (@sirimeraoui) — current maintainer; structured resource layout, tests, OGC conformance, documentation. This commit adds three artefacts that surface the lineage: - **README.md** — new `## History and Acknowledgements` section before `## License` crediting all three contributors and pointing to pg_mfserv as the archived predecessor. - **AUTHORS.md** (new) — structured contributor list per phase. - **CITATION.cff** (new) — machine-readable citation metadata for Zenodo / GitHub citation widget, including a `references:` block citing pg_mfserv as predecessor work. License declared in CITATION.cff: PostgreSQL (matching the MobilityDB main project's license posture). The lineage credit is symmetric: pg_mfserv's README will gain an archive banner pointing forward to MobilityAPI in the companion PR on the pg_mfserv repository.
