At this URL: http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/arch/uml/ There is source code for a really nifty UML layout tool (also writes Java code). It will eventually have the UML variant of XML built into it. I can't think of any reason why the other graphic widgets (boxes, etc) couldn't be hijacked to draw org charts. Shoot, why couldn't each block in an org chart be a UML Class?
