Matrix

This is a completed Matrix showing the relations of Soccer terms. After the completion of a Matrix, I can view and sort the terms with the most connections. These terms are a taxonomic starting point, or a hierarchical classification of the soccer terms, in order to locate the primary words associated with soccer. For example, beginning with the word Plant, this could then spawn into two more subcategories, which are Flowers and Trees. From there, Flowers can have its own subcategories, Annuals, and Perennials, etc. (Rosenfeld & Morville pg.66) In the Matrix shown below, I have magnified a portion to show the relationship the word “defender” has with the word “defending team.” The relationship obviously being that the defender is part of, or directly related to, the defending team.
