Abstract

Whether for data-driven models or computer simulations, developing and using of scientific software has become an indispensable part of science and the humanities. Facing the complexity of scientific code, we developed a software tool (GICAT) to analyze data-structures, code layers and code genealogies. In this paper, we combine a description of the functionality of GICAT with a genealogical study of the transformation of scientific concepts into their encoded counterparts. of philosophy of science and science and technology studies (STS).
