It depends on the relationships. I have marked-up org charts as nested lists, but that only works if each person reports to one person above them. There are no semantics to describe more complex relationships such as sideways reporting (where someone reports to someone else at the same level), people who report to more than one person, or groups that include people from different branches of the tree.

What is the best way to describe a lengthy org chart in a PDF document?
