On what grounds? "owner"ship in the ISO 9070 sense is not a property
right. Otherwise people could not use ISBN numbers in FPIs, for the same
reason. It is merely because there is no convenient noun for "person/
thing belonged to".
And in any case, I would not do it for private data, because it would be
rude. Constructing an FPI which reflects a public archive is not
rude, nor does it violate any ownership rights. (Do you have any legal
cases or laws that suggest otherwise? I would be interested to find
out more, since presumably the same thing would effect URLs and URNs.)
