I don't quite agree with your understanding of "repository". Imho it should NOT have application logic and also it is not in between something => it just adds another layer of abstraction to the data source.

Everything else is like I do it: I have a Business/Domain Object which uses Services to check/modify Repositories.

I meant CRUD on data source only, not validation or something.
