So, my previous XML should be: <Environment><hasLatitudeDegrees sxml:attribute>50</ hasLatitudeDegrees></Environment> or <Environment><hasLatitudeDegrees sxml:element>50</hasLatitudeDegrees></ Environment>
Neither of those xml string resulted in a hasLatitudeDegrees triple. They still generate hasLatitudeDegrees-Environment triples.
