Having had the need several times myself to easily visualize an organisation- structure it would be good to also keep in mind to have a (maybe even separate) renderer-package for the structures you build using the package proposed. Maybe you could draw UML-like-diagrams where appropriate or draw organigrams out of the structures. Maybe there might even be an exporter that generates a sourcode-skeleton using the structures and meta-data stored using the package proposed here. Regards, Stefan
