      How do we create a subtype of Job Title to handle Named Job Titles?

      like the "Charles Edward Wilson Professor of Business Administration, at Harvard Business School" ?

       Ie: these should be titles, but subtypes, so if you say someone is the "Fooperson Chair of Some Such" it would also be the case that they are a "Chair of Some Such" as well.

      Named titles are named in honor of someone else, and are typically associated with tenure, or a stipend/salary.  They almost always are associated with an Educational Institution, as long as that type includes think-tanks, and other pseudo educational organizations.

      Thanks,

        I'd just put them in as ordinary job titles, and leave it at that, since there is no structure to job titles, and I think it a diverse enough field that it would be practically impossible to impose one. If you wanted to show who it was named after, you could add the Namesake type to the job title, which would allow you to link it to the person for whom it was named.
