This indeed a bit confusing, I think Role has mostly been rejected and 
I've seen Resource Category used the most since.

-1 for Role, I don't think short is a good enough reason.

+0, I'ge gotten used to this, its quite long, but its not that bad.

-0, this strikes me as confusing as what we are defining now is somewhat 
different to what a Resource Class was. However, if we can clear it up 
this name is otherwise fine.

I'll throw out a couple to start ideas -

- Resource Role (people seem to like Resource and role! ;-) )
- Resource Group
- Role Type
