If you want to parse RDF/XML, use an RDF parsing library, not an XML tool. Jena, RDF.rb, rdflib (python) and librdf exist. If you try and parse RDF/XML yourself as XML, you are in for a world of pain for one simple reason: the same set of triples can be represented in a wide number of different ways in RDF/XML. Two graphs can be the same at the triple level but not at the XML serialization level. This is why we have RDF parsing libraries. See Ian Davis' classic post The Sixteen Faces of Eve.
