Based on the syntax above, I wrote the code and gives an error,
context document undefined.

declare function id-from-element ( $element as element()? )  as xs:string? {
      data(($element/@*[id(.) is ..])[1])
} ;

let $dm := doc("/repository/content/3001")
let $ee:= id-from-element($dm//figure/picture[1])
return
  <net>
    {$ee}
  </net>

It gives me an error "context document undefined".

the XML is having the struct

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<sample1 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="sample1.xsd">
	<data>Copyright MyCompany 2007</data>
	<figure>
		<picture no="IMAGE-1"/>
		<picture no="IMAGE-2"/>
		<picture no="IMAGE-3"/>
	</figure>
</sample1>

XSD is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
elementFormDefault="qualified">
	<xs:element name="sample1">
		<xs:complexType>
			<xs:sequence>
				<xs:element ref="data"/>
				<xs:element ref="figure"/>
			</xs:sequence>
		</xs:complexType>
	</xs:element>
	<xs:element name="data" type="xs:string"/>
	<xs:element name="figure">
		<xs:complexType>
			<xs:sequence>
				<xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" ref="picture"/>
			</xs:sequence>
		</xs:complexType>
		</xs:element>
	<xs:element name="picture">
		<xs:complexType>
			<xs:attribute name="no" use="required" type="xs:ID"/>
		</xs:complexType>
	</xs:element>
</xs:schema>


Thanks Vijith

Given a node $n, you can find the value of its ID attribute if it has one
using

$n/@*[id(.) is $n]
