The data were converted from vector into raster. The population figures were derived based on available point data (the population of known localities - 30,000 in all). Cell values were derived using a weighted moving average function (Burrough, 1986), and then calculated based on known population by state. The result from this conversion is a coverage whose population data is based on square grid cells rather than a series of vectors. This data set is produced by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) in collaboration with the Instituto Nacional de Estadistica Geografia e Informatica (INEGI).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "conformsTo": "http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmi", "description": "The metadata's original source.", "downloadURL": "https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/concepts/C3540931378-ESDIS.iso19115", "format": "ISO", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/granules?p=C3540931378-ESDIS", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/about/esdis", "format": "BIN", "mediaType": "application/octet-stream"}], "identifier": "10.7927/H41N7Z2Z", "keyword": ["earth-science-boundaries-human-dimensions", "earth-science-infrastructure-human-dimensions", "earth-science-population-human-dimensions", "earth-science-population-human-dimensions-population-distribution"], "license": "https://www.usa.gov/government-works", "modified": "2026-06-22", "programCode": ["026:000"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "ESDIS"}, "spatial": "[\"CARTESIAN\", [{\"NorthBoundingCoordinate\": 33, \"WestBoundingCoordinate\": -117, \"EastBoundingCoordinate\": -86, \"SouthBoundingCoordinate\": 14}]]", "temporal": "1990-01-01/1990-12-31", "theme": ["Earth Science"], "title": "Georeferenced Population Datasets of Mexico (GEO-MEX): Raster Based GIS Coverage of Mexican Population"}
