Large XMI exports

[Karan Mundhra]

Hi,

I am observing a strange behavior with respect to exported xmi.
For some of the packages the exported xmi size is > 150MB. Although the number of elements, connectors and diagrams within the xmi file are less. A similar package with even more elements, connectors and diagrams is only 15 MB.

I have tried integrity check, project repair and compact. But it does not help.
On further checks, I found that, There is a node called <EAModel.clause> which contains huge amount of data. As below:

<EAModel.clause>
<EAClause subject="EAID_3CEE2C7F_F098_452c_8707_67E86C6F478B">
  <xrefs>
    <UML:TaggedValue tag="$ea_clause_xref_property" value="$XREFPROP=$XID={0E02A6E3-FF0F-4cab-A70F-DEEE36E5AAF7}$XID;......
   </xrefs>
</EAClause>
<EAClause>
  <xrefs>
     <UML:TaggedValue tag="$ea_clause_xref_property" value="$XREFPROP=$XID={0E02A6E3-FF0F-4cab-A70F-DEEE36E5AAF7}$XID;......
  </xrefs>
</EAClause>
</EAModel.clause>


Any clues what is wrong?
