Each event type has some comment in the header files /usr/include/libaudit.h
and /usr/include/linux/audit.h. There is also some documentation here:

https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Security_Guide/sec-Understanding_Audit_Log_Files.html

And I want to think some other distros have docs as well.
