Hi Bob,
the terminology used in dxf2postgis for PostGIS data types
follows the Open Geospatial Consortium (formerly OpenGIS
Consortium) standards. You can find the full documentation
on http://www.opengeospatial.org/ .
Since you are interested, I would advice you to read at
least the overview of the Abstract Specification, on
http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/as , and relevant
portions of the OGC Reference Model, on
http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=3836
[PDF].
Last but not least, I have to mention the Simple Features
for SQL specification, which you can find on
http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/sfs 
Hope that helps!
Best,
 -- Guglielmo Nigri
