Consolidate and use consistent naming for data type across all interfaces (UI/Console/Documentation)
Why are we doing this work
We are looking to try and get some consensus on Data Types and their naming. There are some discrepancies on names between the application and our documentation and we are hoping to unify them as part of this effort.

| Container Repository |  |
Data Types in the Docs

| Git |  |
| Blob |  |
| Database |  |
Takeaways/Questions
- Git seems to be the accepted term for repositories (no change).
- Is File or Blob(s) a more appropriate term as the consistent name?
- Is/Should Database be represented in the UI?
- Why is Container Repository separate in the UI and not mentioned in the Docs?
- Component names differ between UI and Docs (Design Management Repository vs Project designs repository). Should those be made consistent as well?
Implementation plan
TBD
