When you plug in a usb device, it goes through the process of enumeration to describe to the driver what it is and what it supports. Normaly for HID devices. The usage pages give details, for instance, if it was a joystock, it would describe the axis supported, axis ranges, buttons, throttle lever etc.
Writing these pages can be tricky, so there are software tools that help you write them.
The standard that describes these parameters is massive, complex, and covers just about every HID device you can think of.
HID is human interface device.
