We initiate the study of enumerating linear subspaces of alternating matrices over finite fields with explicit coordinates. We present q-analogues of Gilbert's formula for enumerating connected graphs (Gilbert (1956) [5]), and Read's formula for enumerating c-coloured graphs (Read (1960) [14]). We also develop an analogue of Riddell's formula relating the exponential generating function of graphs with that of connected graphs (Riddell's (1951) [15]), building on Eulerian generating functions developed by Srinivasan ((2006) [16]).
