Accessible Organizational Charts

Hello all,

I'm looking for a recommended best practice for creating and maintaing
accessible organizational charts. Currently, a secretary from our Deans
Office maintains one in list form in HTML and maintains the other
traditional style org chart in Word which is then converted to PDF.
Samples of each are at
http://www.cvmbs.colostate.edu/cvmbs/personel.html and
http://www.cvmbs.colostate.edu/cvmbs/DeanOrgChart.pdf

If you compare the two versions, you'll see the information doesn't
match. Ideally, she should only have to maintain one version and the
preferred format from the folks in the Dean's Office is the traditional
style in PDF. Tools available to her are Dreamweaver, Office and
Acrobat Distiller. I'm willing to create an HTML template for her.

Accessible samples for reference would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jill
