Patrick,
GDD has application types designating purpose, and primitive types designating storage format. Most of the application types were created so that there could be translation to the types in the db_access.h. GDD was designed so that there could be compatibility between GDD and EPICS and also between GDD and another contemporary system (of GDDs) called CDEV.
Working from memory,
"maxElements" - as I recall, the maximum number of array elements, which is provided when the channel connects
"enums" - array of strings labels for each enumerated state
"menuitem" one of the string labels for an enumerated state
"timeStamp" - an epics time stamp
"ackt", directly maps to DBR_PUT_ACKT
"acks" directly maps to DBR_PUT_ACKS
"class" maps to DBR_CLASS_NAME (this maps to the type name of the enclosing object. In the IOC, the record name)
