I have the following XML:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<thesaurus xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

 <term id="01">

 </term>
</thesaurus>

What I want is this:

1) Select all <term> tags that without an <info> tag. This is
already accomplished with the first apply-templates:
select="term[not(info)]" in the XSLT below.

2) Select all <term> tags when its <ref> tag contains an
obj-type="Unknown" alone or multiple times, but don't select it if
it's surrounded by obj-types with values different than "Unknown"
(like Building or House).

*** Inside an <info> tag, when having obj-type siblings with other values,
it takes at least one value of 'Unknown' for the <term> tag to not
be selected.

If the XSLT works well, the tags selected will be:

02, 03, 05

where:

01 won't be selected because it contains <info> tags, and none of those tags has a obj-type='Unknown'

02 will be selected because there are three multiple values of 'Unknown', and
no other values different than 'Unknown'

03 will be selected because it does not contains <info> tags

04 won't be selected because it contains <info> tags with obj-type values different than 'Unknown'.

05 will be selected because there are no info tags.

06 won't be selected because although there is one value of 'Unknown',
all the other <ref> siblings have a value obj-type different than 'Unknown'.

*** REMEMBER: Inside an <info> tag, when having obj-type siblings with other values, it takes at least one value of
'Unknown' for the <term> tag to not be selected.

I'm using the XSLT below. With the first apply-templates I can select all the tags without an <info> tag.

With the second apply-templates I can select all the <term> tags that contain a <ref> tag with an obj-type="Unknown", but I don't know how to tell the XSLT that if there are obj-types with a different value, don't select the corresponding <term> tag.

I tried to use a for-each and a conditional, to iterate through all the <ref> children and check whether one of the siblings had a different value than 'Unknown' to not select its <term> parent, but to no avail.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" > 
 <xsl:output method="text"/>

<xsl:template match="/thesaurus"> 

 <xsl:apply-templates select="term[not(info)]"/>

 <xsl:apply-templates select="term[info/ref[@obj-type='Unknown']]"/>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="term">

 <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
 <xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
 <xsl:value-of select="name"/>
 <xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
 <xsl:text>
</xsl:text> 

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="term[info/ref]">

 <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
 <xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
 <xsl:value-of select="name"/>
 <xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
 <xsl:text>
</xsl:text>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I hope it's clear.

You could try selecting the terms who doesn't contain something other than Unknown

<xsl:apply-templates select="term[not(info/ref[@obj-type!='Unknown'])]"/>

Or adding an if statement in your term[info/ref] template

<xsl:template match="term[info/ref]">
 <xsl:if test="not(info/ref[@obj-type!='Unknown'])">
 <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
 <xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
 <xsl:value-of select="name"/>
 <xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
 <xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
 </xsl:if>

</xsl:template>
