Rahil,

It's still not a watertight problem statement, but the following will produce what you want, and I imagine you can press it into better service if need be.

<snip/>

<xsl:apply-templates select="preceding-sibling::SubConcept[contains(Value, current()/@name)][1]"/> </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Oh I think I understood where the confusion is. Its not that Im trying to find the sibling of a <SubConcept>. Rather Im trying to trace the origins of a particular value found somewhere in the file. I do this in an alternating mode

1st step: Obtain 'parent' of the child node that contains the value match e.g. 'NextTime'. 2nd step: Look if there is any id=ref match in the file e.g. in this case the Parent 'BrokenBolt' is referenced by a child node of 'Level1'. So they get connected to each other wth the help of id=ref. 3rd step. Obtain 'parent' of this child node that is referencing 'BrokenBolt' 4th step: Look if there are any id=ref match .... ...and so on and so forth.

Alternatively the sequence diagram is of the form

Found: NextTime | |__ Parent? Yes - BrokenBolt | |__ is BrokenBolt being referenced anywhere else in the file? Yes | |__ Parent? Yes - Level1 | |__ is Level1 being referenced anywhere .........

.............. so on........

| |__ until we reach root node <Top>. The recursion stops there!

Is this any clearer?

Thanks for helping out
Rahil
