Can someone explain the type field from the hierarchy table? When I do a 'select distinct' on it i get 41 results that seem like a complete grab bag of results. Is this field actually used? Is it just some random tag that gets assigned?

Code:
                  type                 | count

some of them are filled by batch updates, with more or less a comment function.
The others are probably from a previous version of the interface.
