Sorry, not quite. That’s the NIPs, which are also numbered.

Each “event” in Nostr has a numeric “kind” field. Regular text notes like these have kind=1. Reactions (likes) have kind=7, etc.

When people make Nostr-based apps, often they’ll use new, previously unclaimed kind numbers to have specific meanings for their apps.

I seem to recall someone making a registry of these kind number meanings. Maybe Laeserin (npub1m4n…c2jl) ?
