:Assuuming that by OCC, you mean the Census [http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/ioindex/cens_001_043.html classified index of occupations]? Or, perhaps you mean the BLS's [http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/ioindex/soc_11.html Standard Occupational Codes]? Either way, if you look at those links, I don't see any granularity between a Board Chairman, a CEO, a CFO, a CIO, or a Railroad Commissioner, for that matter. If I'm understanding you correctly, then I would agree that a link to ''Individuals'' (with the wide array of different occupational codes, so that we can accomodate a [http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/ioindex/cens_300_354.html chiropractor], we can. However, wouldn't the chiropractor more simply just align himself (sorry for the pun) with the appropriate NAICS code of 62131? I'm unsure at this time, but currently I'm dubious of Centiare encouraging individuals to identify themselves more by their occupational role than by the NAICS Industry they serve. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 09:51, 4 December 2006 (PST)

::Greg, these are the types of answers I like. KISS would suggest using NAICS, but OTOH, one doesn't want to take shortcuts that miss picking up crucial data. (That is, if OCC added add'l granularity; but, as your example points out, NAICS really does define what an entity does, whether it's a company or individual.)
If we stick with NAICS, then not only do the Portals remain as they are, but ASK queries can then produce listings based on either person_names and/or company_names. Even better, since I know you're wondering, we could search for people within companies. Like I've said before, the sky really is the limit once individual data elements are captured.
