Digital repositories: a differentiation
... differentiated from other digital collections by the following characteristics:

content is deposited in a repository, whether by the content creator, owner or third party
the repository architecture manages content and metadata
the repository offers a minimum set of basic services e.g. put, get, search, access control
the repository must be sustainable and trusted , well- supported and well-managed
