What do you do I an application needs to capture provenance information
(context) *and* statement specific metadata (like trust ratings of a
statement)? See my example in
http://www.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/suhl/bizer/trustcontextjustification/#datamodel
2.2

If you use the fourth element of a quad for the context, you cannot refer to
a specific statement.
If you use the fourth element as statement identifier you have to use a
container or something to group statements what is inefficient and ugly when
it comes to queries. Using "s,p,o" as unique identifier is out of the bounds
of the RDF datamodel.
