A novel method for analyzing cartographic program code on a detailed level is presented in this paper. The method, loosely based on the grounded theory approach, has been applied to a corpus of cartographic programs to yield an empirically-derived taxonomy of cartographic operations, an initial analysis of structural aspects of cartographic programs, and visualizations of cartographic program code.
