Expressions in predicates are relative to the current point in the XPath expression, not the starting point of the XPath expression. If you want the starting point of the XPath expression, you need to use XSLT's current() function instead. In this case though, you can just use "." to target the current attribute itself, like:

<xsl:for-each select="dbReference[@type='GO']"> <field name="GO_1"> <xsl:value-of select="property[@type='term']/@value[starts-with(.,'P:')]"/></field> <field name="GO_2"> <xsl:value-of select="property[@type='term']/@value[starts-with(.,'F:')]"/></field> <field name="GO_3"> <xsl:value-of select="property[@type='term']/@value[starts-with(.,'C:')]"/></field> </xsl:for-each>
