NFT ownership and accounts

Am I correct in thinking that ownership of an NFT on Flow is primarily about who’s account it’s sitting in? I’m looking at the metadata discussions and thinking I’d like to do a DID document style interaction where it’s possible to put a DID document on chain or elsewhere, and use it to contain SSI based signatures of ownership and permissions for royalties etc.

@flowjosh FYI

Yes, ownership is primarily about which account it is in, though there are some exceptions, like if a user is lending someone an NFT via an on-chain lending logic or if the NFT is owned by a resource in someone’s account. Does the account own the NFT or does the resource own the NFT? It kind of depends on how you look at it.

But yes, 99% of the time, the account where the NFT is stored is the account that owns it
