I think they are called computer programmers...
"specialists in transformations of structured and semi-structured data
sets."
Graphic Artist - Makes Pictures to meet the needs of desiger.
Web Designer - Arranges Pictures and Text "Interior Designer for the House
of Browser".
Programmer - Arranges computer instructions so that data can be transformed
into a format required by a designer.
Usability Consultant - Measures user interaction to make recommendations for
improvement to
the designer.
Sometimes you wear all hats.

Just as before print, we had no authors, editors, copy-editors,
fact-checkers, catalogers, typographers, or booksellers, but only writers,
librarians and readers (usually rolled into one as a "scholar"), it may be
that we will soon be seeing whole new categories of work, including both
new kinds of designer, and specialists in transformations of structured and
semi-structured data sets.
The skills of what we now call a "web designer" -- who may be brilliant
communicators in visual media without being particularly good at abstract
reasoning -- may or may not be appropriate for much of this work.
Cheers,
Wendell
