I don't think centromere (or telomere) maintenance is the same as centromere (telomere) function. You'd probably be better off referring to the component terms, although you could also mention telomere mainenance, chromosome attachment to spindles, and chromosome segregation.
For the telomere def, how would you define 'integrity'? For telomeres, the important thing is to keep them from getting too short ... I'm not seeing what the change would add ...

I have decided to add GO terms to my book chapter. I have a couple of commonly used phrases which don't map to GO
telomere function and centromere function
These phrases essentailly refer to groups of processes (not functions)
I wondered if telomere function could be a synonym of telomere maintenance but perhaps the definition of telomere maintenence should be tweaked
telomere maintenance The of maintenance ot telomere integrity? to protect chromosome ends and promote chromosome stability ?
if it is required telomere length maintenance could be a child
telomere maintenance --telomere length maintenance --telomere capping
then GONEW centromere maintenance synonym centromere function
The of maintenance of centromere associated protein complexes integrity? to ensure accurated segregation and promote chromosome stability ?
would have children
* chromatin silencing at centromere
* GONEW mitotic sister chromatid cohesion at centromere (this term has been requested previously, as there are different complexes involved in cohesion at the centromere and the arms)
* chsome separation (i.e the new term)
I haven't thought about this properly and everyone is waiting for me to go to lunch, but would somthing like this be possible?
