"Ces questionnements [about the ESEC classification] sont d’abords liés aux termes ou concepts issus du monde anglo-saxon et dont la tradition française de nomination des professions est peu familière :« manager », « professional », « routines occupation » et plus généralement les termes de langages renvoyant au prestige et/ ou à la hiérarchie sociale des métiers (supérieur, inférieur). Mais ces différences de terminologie et de représentation cognitive des professions renvoient aussi à des différences de logiques classificatoires qui ***interrogent*** les représentations profanes de l’espace social."
From a text about various systems for classifying occupations and socio-economic categories. Here it is talking about ESeC, a draft European Socio-Economic Classification, drafted in English, that apparently does not exactly fit with French ideas and expectations.
Long explanation (sorry), short question: what does 'interroger' mean here? I can't seem to make it make sense...
Thanks for any suggestions!

question/lead to questions
Could this not simply be the idea of "question" ? Is there anything after the sentence that could clarify?

probe
This is yet another option to consider...
the word "probe" is perhaps a more nuanced term that would be appropriate to the context of the text discussing the differences in logic behind "lay representations", perceptions of social hierarchies in the "social space", etc

I think here "interroger" has the sense of "mettre en question" and that would be in English "to raise doubts"
