The Countryside Surveys of 1990 and 2000 are introduced and their
methodological or ontological differences described. Actor-network
theory examines the processes by which individual scientific claims
are supported, debated and constructed by determining the interactions,
connections and activities of the actors involved. The actors and
their networks for the Countryside Surveys of 1990 and 2000 are compared.
Such an analysis provides a description of why science evolves. Changes
in the commissioning context behind scientific results and the process
by which empirical facts are established are clearly illustrated.
This type of analysis goes beyond the technological developments
that would be revealed if only the scientific elements were examined.
This type of analysis provides a useful tool to those seeking to
reconcile ontological and semantic differences between scientific
data.
