What are the Mechanical, Machining, NC Machines etc libraries for?

Hi there. Sorry for all these questions. I must be the only person in the entire global English speaking TopSolid community needing the answers to such basic questions, either that or everyone else is too shy to ask. Anyhow -
When I installed TopSolid I was asked if I wanted to import libraries. I chose everything except for anything to do with Piping, Springs or IFC (see screenshot below).
QUESTION 1:
Could anyone tell me what each of these library groups are used for in TopSolid and why there is a need to install them?
LIBRARY GROUPS
1. Mechanical Libraries (AFNOR, ANSI, CEN, DIN, GB, ISO)
2. Cutting Conditions Library
3. Machining Cloud tools templates
4. Machining Equipment
5. NC Machines .... I think this must be for simulation purposes??
6. Machining User Cutting Conditions
7. Machining Methods Library
8. Machining Tools Library
Thanks in advance
Michelle
