Why Protege add the `xml` namespace to my ontology? - semantic-web

I'm using Protégé to edit my ontology, but everytime it adds xml namespace to it.
xml http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace
I don't know why, and I didn't use it anywhere in my ontology.
And the delete option is always disabled for xml.

The XML prefix is part of the prefixes that are always written out - owl, rdf, rdfs, xsd, xml. There is no logical implication, these are plain shortcuts used in the XML layer; if unused, their effect is nil. If used, they reduce the size of the output file.

Serialize & Deserialize Unity3D MonoBehaviour script

Background: Classes that inherit from Monobehaviour can't be serialized.
Premise: A way to save the data (variables/fields and their values) of a MonoBehaviour script so it can be serialized, and deserialize it again and use this data to "fill in" a corresponding MonoBehaviour script's variable/field values.
Tried so far:
Having a serializable "wrapper/container" class that has the same fields as the MB script, but does not inherit from MB. Works nicely but every MV script needs it's own wrapper class and it's own wrapping function.
Serializing a List<FieldInfo> and fill it with the MB's fields... Works 30%;
The FieldInfos get added but are of the wrong Type, and
When deserialzing their values can't be accessed because an instance of a class is needed, but only a list is available
I feel like it can't be that hard but my Reflection skills and related are limited but seeing as saving/loading is a rather common feature I hope there is either someone who did it or someone who can point me in the right direction.
There is no easy way to serialize a MonoBehaviour using a BinaryFormatter built in .NET. There are a few options you can consider:
Using a Memento Patter. That is (more or less) what you have tried to achieve using a wrapper. Momento assumes a saving and restoring internal state of objects, so serialization is one of techniques.
Using Unity Serialization, by declaring the methods:
void Serialize(){}
void Deserialize(){}
In your MonoBehaviour script, so within the methods you will choose the properties/fields you want to serialize/deserialize.
There is an interesting framework, source code is on GitHub. It has a custom serialization framework that lets you serialize almost anything (not only monobehaviors). I have never used it, here is the forum page on Unity3d forum, I believe it's worth a look.
The answer to the question is: ScriptableObject. That's what they're for.
Put your variables in a ScriptableObject and Unity will handle the serialisation and give you a custom editor and other nice features. Recommended.

Is there way to provide wrapper of ParseTree to antlr4 parser?

Is there way to provide wrapper of ParseTree to antlr4 parser?
In antlr2 I could set custom AST node type :
parser.setASTNodeClass(DetailAST.class.getName());
I know that in antlr4 there is no AST, but I want to add some functionality to all nodes in parse tree, for example: getNextSibling, getPreviousSibling, getType, getLine, getColumn, etc.
I don't want cast every node to YYYContext to work with it. Instead of this I want to create basic class for all nodes in parse tree that will have all these methods.
As of ANTLR 4.4, there is no way to override the types used for the parse tree. An issue does exist for discussions on the subject, but (as of today) the feature has not been implemented or even assigned to a target release milestone.

Does COM's put_XXX methods change to set_XXX in a .NET RCW

I have a COM component that has get_XXX and put_XXX methods inside it. I used it in a .NET project and a RCW was generated for it. I now see get_XXX and set_XXX methods and NOT the put_XXX one? Is that automatic or defined somewhere in IDL?
These are property accessor methods. A compiler that uses the COM server is expected to generate a call to get_Xxx() when the client program reads the property, put_Xxx() when it writes it. A special one that C# doesn't have at all is putref_Xxx(), used to unambiguously access an object instead of a value.
The normal translation performed by Tlbimp.exe is as a plain C# property. But that doesn't always work, C# is a lot more strict about what a property can look like:
The default property, the one that's annotated as DISPID_VALUE (dispid 0) must take a single argument to be compatible. This maps to the C# indexer property, the one that makes it look like you are indexing an array.
Any other property cannot take an argument, C# does not supported indexed properties other than the indexer.
C# does not have the equivalent of putref_Xxx(), the syntax ambiguity cannot occur in a C# program because of the previous two bullets. And the core reason that the C# team decided to put these restrictions in place, they greatly disliked ambiguity in the language.
So Tlbimp.exe is forced to deal with these restrictions, if the COM property accessors are not compatible then it must fall back to exposing them as plain methods instead of a property. With default names, they'll get the get_ and set_ prefixes. The latter one explains your question, they didn't pick put_ for an otherwise unclear reason.
Notable is that C# version 4 relaxed several of these restrictions, most of all to make interop with Office programs easier. Which was quite painful in earlier C# versions, to put it mildly. It extended the property syntax to lessen the pain, but only for COM interop. Very strongly recommended if you are still stuck on an old version of .NET, now is a good time to consider updating.
The properties themselves have to prefixes (put_ etc.), they have names, getter method, setter method, but no prefixes. Method table generated from type library receives prefixes to distinguish between getters and setters, hence the prefixes. Prefix string exactly depends on preference of the one who generates the names.
See also:
#pragma import attributes - raw_property_prefixes
By default, low-level propget, propput, and propputref methods are exposed by member functions named with prefixes of get_, put_, and putref_ respectively. These prefixes are compatible with the names used in the header files generated by MIDL.

Can I create C functions that are only visible to my class which is broken into multiple files?

Using a static function, I can limit the linkage of my function to the file at hand and that is perfect in many cases. But I have a class that is unwieldy as one file, but breaking it up is made more frustrating because there are functions that I would like to keep 'private' but are needed throughout.
One part of the answer must be counter-questions, such as:
Why is your class so big that it must be split up?
Are you sure your class is so big that it must be split up? (How big is 'big'?)
Are you sure you have your class properly abstracted?
Can you make the common functions into a new class that can be used by the main class you are working with? That will hide the functions behind a class interface barrier.
On the whole, if you can avoid it, do not split the class file up arbitrarily because of size constraints; keep together that which belongs together.
A Gruesome Possibility
Assuming that a split is necessary and an orthodox split (into various classes that work together) is not possible, the question becomes: how gruesome will you accept your code being? (It's already a bit gruesome since there's an awful lot of functionality in a single file; can you stand it becoming more gruesome?)
Assume your class is in 4 (or more) files.
class.h
class.c
class1.c
class2.c
The header, class.h, is orthodox - self-contained and idempotent. It is used by the outside world (meaning outside this collection of source code) to access the facilities provided by the class.
The files class1.c and class2.c contain implementations of the functions in the class. They could be given a separate, distinctive file suffix - there might be some advantages to doing so. The files are not designed to be compiled standalone; they are strictly a convenience that splits the source up because the class got too big.
The file class.c is what you compile. It contains:
#include "class.h"
Other definitions needed by the class internals.
#include "class1.c"
#include "class2.c"
Thus, although the source is split up, you actually compile a single file, class.c.
In your makefile or equivalent, you specify that class.o depends on the header and all three source files; if any of those changes, then you need to recompile the whole lot. One advantage of changing the suffix of the implementation files (class1.c and class2.c) is that they will not compile separately because the suffix is not recognized by the C (Objective-C) compiler. One downside of changing the suffix is that your syntax-aware editor won't be aware of the correct syntax highlighting for the separate files unless you tell it the file type. If you use an IDE, it may also be less than amused at this trickery.
If you work on a machine where the size of the source means it cannot all be compiled at once like this, then you are snookered. This technique does not help at all; you have to split the files up and compile them separately. In that case, really look hard at whether you can split the code cleanly into several classes which can be managed in an orthodox way.
By request, my comment on the OP as an answer:
There's no language support for this that I'm aware of... You could put all the support functions in a separate c file and only #import its header from the class implementation files? If they don't have to be C functions (for passing as callbacks to C APIs, for example) I'd reimplement them as methods on the class and declare the private interface in a separate header—each implementation file would then #import both the "public" and "private" header.
Prefix their names with output of a cryptographic RNG. Now you don't have to worry about unintentional name collisions. Problem solved. You can hide the renaming in preprocessor macros if you really like.

what does "+" means in Objective-C files

I've been reading some Obj-C projects, and I'm always finding this standard for naming files:
ClassName+OtherClassName.h
What does this mean? Normally is used with a base class used on the left side, and another class used on the right side, like:
NSString+URLEncoding.h
Thanks in advance.
The way I have seen it used is as a way of organizing categories, which are code extensions added to classes. Each category is given its own header and source file. The '+' is simply another character in the file name, though it is not often used. You can read more about categories here.
It's a naming convention, nothing more. In that case, it would be for a category on NSString that implements something to do with URL encoding.
