It’s not how any of it works.
How do you determine to whom an IP is even registered to? They get sub-leased all the time.
The best you can do is check who has administrative control over the prefixes RIR info, but that doesn’t mean that anyone with control is the factual user of the IPs.
You could check the IRR for the ASN and base it on that, but still.
There's also no way to actually know _where_ an IP actually originates from. Only its AS path.
The DFZ contains all prefixes announced everywhere, for the internet is completely decentralized.
