At the first HypertextConference, Hypertext '87, Frank Halasz gave a memorable keynote speech in which he identified seven issues for hypertext research:
- extensibility
- collaboration
- versioning
- computation in/over hypertext structures
- virtual structures
- composites
- search and query
In 1991, Halasz returned to his list in a talk, Seven Issues Revisited. http://www2.parc.com/spl/projects/halasz-keynote/recon/ His revised list included
- ending the tyranny of the link
- open systems
- support for collaborative work
- user interfaces for large information spaces
- very large hypertexts
- tailorability and extensibility
- computation in(over) hypermedia networks
- defining hypermedia market(s)
- standards
- publishing hypertexts
In his 1999 HypertextConference keynote, MarkBernstein proposed a new issues list
- visualization
- enactment
- collaboration constructive hypertext, and the GraffitiEffect
- log analysis and user models
- tension and excitement
- real criticism of real hypertexts
- reactive or SculpturalHypertext's
In 2002, a HypertextConference panel revisited the Seven Issues. Each panelist chose one issue and one non-issue; their choices were:
Paul De Bra
- issue: personalization
- non-issue: tyranny of the link
Kaj Groenbaek
- issue: linking places, spaces, and object
- non-issue: search and query
Deena Larsen
- issue: mining the archives
- non-issue: composites; the tyranny of the link
Frank Shipman
- issue: greater variety among hypertexts
- non-issue: interoperability
m. c. schraefel
- issue: the evil click
- non-issue: none
Ken Anderson
- issue: infrastructure integration and pervasive hypermedia
- non-issue: application integration
Bob Akscyn
- issue: economic of hypertext
- non-issue: none
