you're absolutely right. But isn't that why for example folksonomies and
browsing is contrary to controlled vocabulary and searching.

:) - I`m not trying to offend.
The point I'm trying to make is from a stakeholder point of view it is
much easier to find an IA if he can put an accepted label on the person
he is looking for.

This in return generates more IA-jobs and raises awareness. It's a loop
where everybody profits from. But I think, it has to start with a
concrete term, label or that one accredited job title.
