In trying to explain what we do to a group of computer scientists, we've discovered that the word 'repository' is not a helpful word. 'Repository' is really seen as a place that holds code, (subversion, mercurial[Hg], git, .rpm/.deb repos, etc). The same with talking about the word 'data' with them which is really seen as 'data' within 'database'. However, what they do understand is 'resource', and specifically in regards to 'what they consume and produce in their daily scholarly routine'.
