The natural place for this is the programmer's manual:

http://download.osgeo.org/grass/grass6_progman/
-> Related Pages
   -> GRASS 6 Vector Architecture

Indded, it could be improved there (file lib/vector/vectorlib.dox in SVN).

-> Vector model and topology

Documentation contributions are MOST welcome.
