The usual technique for associating provenance or other metadata with 
certain triples is to put those triples into a named graph, and make the 
provenance/metadata assertions about that named graph.  A named graph 
can hold any number of triples, so it could hold a single triple if you 
want to be that fine grained.  But triples are not usually created 
individually -- they are usually created in bunches -- so for efficiency 
one would usually create a named graph containing multiple triples that 
all have the same provenance.

All major "triplestores" -- quad stores really -- and SPARQL servers 
support named graphs.
