So I built this as a prototype for the college I worked on. Broken links are a big problem with learning materials which are hard to change after publishing.

The idea was that someone is responsible for each link and any 404s would get corrected. Then if the person left active directory would assign the manager.

Hope that’s useful. It was also called go.

Yep! This is a problem we've addressed by making everyone in the organization an owner. If a link breaks, anyone in the organization can change it, even if the original creator leaves the company. Checkout out our blog to learn more about the history of go links, you may see why the "go" term is so popular.
