Repository

A term which means, generically, "storage location." In the context of content management it means one of two things:

• The functional unit of a CMS} that stores content objects. A repository provides a set of content or library services, such as modeling, versioning, version control, permissions, audit trails, etc.
• A source code management system which stores code. This usage is general to programming, not specific to content management.

The raw term "repository" can mean either, depending on context.

Often abbreviated as repo.
