NAICS / OCC response

Should we use NAICS as occupational codes or go full bore and incorporate official occ codes? I think I already know the answer you're going to give me. If that's the case, should Portals be NAICS or a level above that branch to NAICS & OCC?

Off the cuff, I'd rather just add a link to ''Individuals'' (ie occ codes) from the main portal entry -  sort of like a special sub-portal. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 09:29, 4 December 2006 (PST)

I guess we (interested?) could create another infobox_person for Main page entries - ie no longer any commercial rights. There's a lot of stuff in infobox_person that could be cleaned up/removed to create a new version for non-commercial public figures. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 12:30, 3 December 2006 (PST)

:Just moved this section to the bottom.  That's the wiki "policy" -- new threads always go to the bottom of Discussion pages.

: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)
