The value of the select expression must be an XPath expression, not a
URI. Perhaps you wanted select="document('http://.....rdf')"
But xsl:value-of will flatten the document, which isn't likely to be
what you want.
I would suggest that instead of leaping in with questions like this, you
should spend a week learning the basics of the language.
