Wandora's Export Adjacency Matrix feature creates a matrix out of topic map or topic collection and saves it to a user addressed file. Created matrix represents connections between topics. Each matrix row and column views one topic. Intersection of column and row contains a number representing connections between row and column topics. For example, if a cell holds a number 0 (zero), then one can conclude that row and column topics are not connected i.e. topics are not players in same associations, and there is no instance-class relation between topics. If a cell holds a number 2 (two), then one can conclude row and column are connected two times i.e. there is either two associations where both topics play a role, or one association and instance-class relation. However, matrix says nothing about the association types nor roles, nor any other topic details.
