    Este trabajo se propone caracterizar las familias de la consultoría y la asistencia técnica. El análisis se realiza desde un punto de vista exclusivamente epistemológico. Es usual mostrar que la tecnología se basa en las ciencias sustantivas y el método científico. Aquí se enfatizan, en cambio, los rasgos propios que la tecnología agrega al conocimiento científico. Este enfoque inverso permite obtener algunos resultados interesantes, especialmente distinguir tecnologías transdisciplinares y caracterizarlas en sus rasgos básicos y, entonces, avanzar en la determinación, aún pendiente, de un mapa epistemológico de las tecnologías.

    This paper aims to characterize the families of consulting and technical assistance. This analysis is done from the epistemological point of view. It is usual to show that the technology is based on substantive science and the scientific method. This work stresses, instead, the traits that technology adds to scientific knowledge. These reverse approaches allows for some interesting results, especially to distinguish transdisciplinary technologies, to characterize its basic features and then to advance the determination of a methodological map of the technologies; this task is still pending.
