Michael,

The NCEP Grib2 documentation is at: 
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/grib2

Parameters in Grib 2 are completely different then Grib 1, they
are represented by discipline, category, and parameter numbers all
from one table resources/resources/grib/tables/grib2StdQuantities.xml 
in the package. 

The discipline, category, and parameter numbers are defined here:

http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/grib2/grib2_table4-1.shtml

TypeGenProcess from GRIB2 - TABLE 4.3 ie what type of data is this?

Table 4.5 - Fixed Surface Types and Units for your level questions.

The GDSkey represents one complete GDS section, it's possible to have
> 1 GDSs in a model but most of the time there is only one.

It appears you are looking at Grib1 docs, not Grib 2
