Actually these descriptions correspond pretty well to the descriptions of research, resource, and reference collections  in the report NSB (National Science Board). 2005. Long-Lived Digital Data Collections: Enabling Research and Education in the 21st Century. Washington, DC: National Science Foundation. 87 pp. despite the factor that you are talking about production approaches and they are talking about types of data.
