We use the uri of the graph model (typically the url it can be downloaded
from) as the 4th member of the quad. This is logical, and the RDF syntax
for talking about the uri of the graph is pretty logical as far as I can
remember.

You can see an example here:
http://triplestore.aktors.org/browse/?resource=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ecs.soton.ac.uk%2Finfo%2F%23person-02686

click on "show sources" to see the models that produced the triples
and the model uri to see the metadata about that model (the engine tracks
basic prevenance infomation automagically)

The browser is a php script that uses RDQL quad queries to present the
triples.
