Your XPath is almost correct, as far as I can tell. All you need to
do is insert an "@" character before the "id" attribute predicate,
like so:

".//data/department/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"]"

Also if you are just looking for the data from the element you could use xquery

like so ... objectsForXquery:@"data(.//data/department/[EMAIL PROTECTED] \"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"])"

i'm no expert but something similar to this would do what you want without having to query the node for data after
you have found it.

I found this page very helpful for learning the basics of xquery
http://www.w3schools.com/xquery/xquery_example.asp

also xmlbrowser in /developer/examples/foundation/xmlbrowser
is quite helpful for prototyping these queries
