Provenance data is at the heart of the web-of-trust, the top rung of the Internet architecture promulgated by the W3. So, if your view is that SMW is not for provenance data, while Wikidata is for provenance data, then how can I not conclude SMW is down-version? Why would I not toss SMW for Wikidata since they BOTH handle structured data? > > I am not sure what you want to hear really. You seem to have made up > your mind.

And if I remember correctly some of the SMW devs even said that this would be useful to have for SMW. It isn't something we're imposing on anyone but that can be very useful once done. It's one of the ways were SMW can benefit from groundwork done for Wikidata. More will probably come up.
