EA tags have a limit of 255 characters. In the XMI file, concept definitions are saved using tags (e.g., PropertyConceptDefinition?, ObjectClassConceptDefinition?). Some concepts have definitions that are greater than 255 characters. In previous versions of SIW (pre-3.2.0.1), the SIW would place these long definitions into the XMI file as a single tag value. When that XMI file is then imported back into EA, EA cannot place the entire definition into the tag value. If EA is trying to load a class, then it will simply truncate the definition and proceed with the import. But if the long tag value is associated with an attribute, EA actually stops importing that attribute altogether, and in fact, skips over to the next class. As a result, the UML model that is imported, will be missing attributes. SIW 3.2.0.1 adds extra tags that allow these long concept definitions to be split up into multiple tags. This is all done automatically by the SIW whenever a new concept is added to a clas/attrib
