Jena generated Skolem constants will be 1-1 with internal ids globally. 
  Skolem URIs will identify the internal id. regardless of DB.

We already use a form of UID that is nearly unique enough.  The skolem 
constants will have enough information to recreate the bNode internal 
id. No concept of DB needed.  It has other implementation benefits as 
well such as independent generation across machines or a federation.
