Terminology resources belong to installed applications, not client 
scripts, so it wouldn't make sense to bundle it with the latter. 
(i.e. It's specific to a machine, not to a script.)

site-packages/appscript_cache would be one option. 
/Library/Caches/appscript and/or(?) ~/Library/Caches/appscript would 
be another. There may be others. Not sure where would be best. Not 
sure if it needs to be user configurable or not. (Think of 
use-cases?) Not sure about write permissions. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
