This is an OWL file.  It opens in Protege 4.2 without any problems. Many 
other OWL 2 tools will also understand the file in this format.

The thing that you might need to know is that there are several ways in 
which an OWL file can be written out.  In this case, the OWL file was 
written out in the OWL/XML format.  This is a very good choice of format 
but for historical reasons it is not the most common serialization 
format.  Most OWL ontologies are written out in the RDF/XML format.  
Some tool sets, particularly those based on OWL 1.0 or OWL full can only 
handle the RDF/XML format.  This might be a reason to save an ontology 
in RDF/XML.  RDF/XML is also sometimes the format that people expect to 
see when they get an OWL file.

If you open the ontology in Protege and then choose save-as, you will 
see that, before you browse to the file where you want to save it, that 
there is a dialog that allows you to choose the format that you will use 
when saving the ontology.

I am not sure what you mean by this.  But I suspect that this is 
something to do with the configuration of your copy of Protege rather 
than an issue with the file.  In particular I think that you might be 
talking about the rendering views which give a preview of what your 
ontology looks like in various formats.  Thus for instance, if, in the 
active tab, say, you can click "Window->Views->Ontology Views->RDF/XML 
rendering" and you will be able to drop the RDF/XML rendering view where 
you would like it in the display.  If you then don't like this view you 
can remove it from the display by clicking the little "x" button at the 
right hand corner of the view:



Alternatively you can click "Window->Reset selected tab to default 
state" to return the tab to the state it was in before you made any 
modifications.
