The author classifies the minimal genus spanning surfaces for knots with up to 10 crossings, and gives the structure of the set of isomorphism classes as a graph. The vertices of this graph are spanning surfaces up to isotopy, connected by a simplex when the corresponding surfaces can not be chosen to be disjoint. The techniques used depend on Gabai's work on sutured manifolds.
