One possibility is to use the TypeSystem2Ecore utility that comes with UIMA, to translate a typesystem into an Ecore model (the representation used by the Eclipse Modeling Framework - it is similar to UML). There are some tools out there that let you visualize Ecore models - one free one that I know of is EclipseUML. -Adam
