I am starting to explore words/phrases other than "ownership" to convey a sense of "looking after a thing in a healthy way":

- custodian / custodianship
- curator / curation
- caretaker / caretaking

This is in the context of long-lived software-enriched services (online IT/software services, legal services, accounting services, HR services, etc.) and emphasizing the need for long-term care, not short-term "throw the feature over the fence".

Suggestions?
