It is an epistemology that is concerned with justifying inferences from a theory to its application-an inference that most philosophy of science has assumed is deductive and justified based on considerations coming from theory, from empirical generalizations, from data, or from experience in modeling similar phenomena in other contexts. semantic view of theories recently made by a group of philosophers interested in the role of "mediating models" (cf. models in science spells trouble for the semantic view of theories. we need to understand mediating models as being separate from theory.
