Difference between repository and service?

Question

What\'s the difference between a repository and a service? I don\'t seem to grasp it.

I\'m talking about data access through a data access layer, typically with linq

Answer 1

I would say as a first try, in the general sense (until you give more context if you have one):

• a repository is where you place some global objects, to be used later.
• a service is a business logic code, made explicit (and ideally separated from the Presentation layer, and database layer ?)
