Explanation of Wikipedia outlines
Outlines on Wikipedia are a type of list article. "Outline" refers to the format of the article, not its topic, which is identified after "Outline of" in the title. "Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline", which is a type of tree structure, in which levels are represented with headings and indented list items.
Together, the outlines form a subject classification system, to help organize knowledge into related areas. Because of this, they are one of WP's Contents systems. Each outline serves as a site map for its subject. These navigation aids can help you find your way around areas of knowledge on WP, even when you are not sure what you are looking for.

Is the intention that it should include references to articles that suggest future research topics, or of trend analysis that identifies topical buzzwords and development trends? The list is rather applied, and is about today's standards. Shouldn't it be a list of topical theoretical fields, and of expected future techniques (Web 3.0, 5G, etc)?
