Not an *exact* look-alike, but it seems like it would have quite a few things in common with it--UML being a distant descendant of ERD notations and such. Descriptions of ER representations in UML reference books are amusing: "If you need to represent x in your ER diagram, use a tagged value.", which always seems to the engineer in me like: "We know the UML is too general to unambigously represent your actual RDBMS data structures, so here's a clumsy work-around."
