I am attempting to edit RDF/XML in XForms (XSLTForms implementation in eXist-db), and I need to enforce different value constraints on elements with the same name within xf:repeat structures. For example, I have a bf:subject element that can take either a default URI as the value of its @rdf:resource attribute or an arbitrary URI that links to some other resource defined in the form (for the sake of brevity I have omitted these from the example provided below).
In an xf:repeat structure, how can I differentiate between elements with the same name? I can handle the first scenario with a predicate that limits the value of the @rdf:resource to the default URI specified in the xf:model, but I can't find a way to achieve differential processing for cases when the @rdf:resource can take an arbitrary URI.
Note: there are no form controls within the 2nd nested xf:repeat because the value of @rdf:resource is updated dynamically using a separate JavaScript library (jsPlumb) that updates the XForms instance.

At present, the default URIs are all coming from the same namespace (http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/...), so a temporary solution is just to filter for that value: not(starts-with(@rdf:resource, 'http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/geographicAreas/')). For the longer term, I'm investigating nomisma.org, which embodies a more sustainable approach to linked data vocab management in XForms.
