Thanks all for your prompt responses, TriX does exactly what I would like to do, but Martynas suggestion is what I ideally need. I will describe what we have to do, and any suggestions or ideas are more than welcome:
We currently host 250 vocabularies with more than 60.000 terms used by many users all over the world. (so we have to cater for backwards compatibility, as many software apps are based on our vocabularies). The vocabularies are exposed as Linked Data, via sparql endpoint (Jena Fuseki) and REST interface (RDF/XML sadly no other serialization) using mostly SKOS. Users asked more information about the provenance of term mappings (triples) and this is where the named graph comes in. How do I display the provenance information in RDF/XML?
