Play along for a moment... an architect would design a building, but 
would create a blueprint.  Using this framework, the architect wouldn't 
create a building as that would be done by the builders.  The creation 
would be based on the design.  The properties of design are more 
ethereal and are used as a guide to build the creation.  The architect 
would create a blueprint as it has defined elements (preset standards) 
that must be adhere so that the blueprint can be used properly.

To extract definition: Design is a new framework or original creation. 
Create is based on a predetermined design or predetermined framework. 
Schema and Classification have predefined frameworks and structures that 
are excepted so that interpretation and use of the Schema and 
Classification can be readily used.

Hence, IAs create schema and classifications and not design them.

IA is created my crafts people who have learned at the digital feet of 
the masters.
