Abstract from DBPedia
    Ownership is the state or fact of legal possession and control over property, which may be any asset, tangible or intangible. Ownership can involve multiple rights, collectively referred to as title, which may be separated and held by different parties. The process and mechanics of ownership are fairly complex: one can gain, transfer, and lose ownership of property in a number of ways. To acquire property one can purchase it with money, trade it for other property, win it in a bet, receive it as a gift, inherit it, find it, receive it as damages, earn it by doing work or performing services, make it, or homestead it. One can transfer or lose ownership of property by selling it for money, exchanging it for other property, giving it as a gift, misplacing it, or having it stripped from one's ownership through legal means such as eviction, foreclosure, seizure, or taking. Ownership is self-propagating in that the owner of any property will also own the economic benefits of that property.

    所有権(しょゆうけん)とは、物の全面的支配すなわち自由に使用・収益・処分する権利。 18世紀ないし19世紀の近代的所有権は、自由主義や個人主義思想のもとで絶対的な所有権として成立し、原則的に無制限であると考えられていたが、20世紀に入ると私権の公共性が強調され始め、現代では所有権の横暴を抑制し公共の福祉を図るために社会的・経済的必要から所有権を原則的に制限可能なものであり、むしろ法律が許容する範囲内でのみその存在が可能なものと考えるようになった。 日本の民法においては206条以下に規定がある。 * 以下、民法については、条名のみ記載する。
