The collection policy is a Datastream that specifies which content models are associated with a particular collection object. This determines which file types can be ingested into the collection. The Datastream ID (DSID) for a Collection Policy will always be COLLECTION_POLICY.
The "DS-COMPOSITE-MODEL" defines what data streams comprise an object, whether or not these datastreams are optional or enforced, and what mime type the datastream can, should, or must contain.
Content models describe the characteristics of objects in the Fedora repository. Islandora extends Fedora's content model architecture with a datastream that has the Datastream ID (DSID) ISLANDORA_CM. The "Content Model" is a is a legacy idea, and all "Content Models" should be (if they haven't already been) moved to the "DS-COMPOSITE-MODEL" datastream.
Datastreams are elements of objects that represent content. They may contain metadata about the object. Each object has a number of default datastreams, notably a Dublin Core Datastream and a RELS-EXT (Fedora Object-to-Object Relationship Data Datastream. Datastreams can also contain other useful information, and different types of objects will have different datasteams; for example, a collection object has a collection policy Datastream, while an image might contain a thumbnail Datastream.

The root collection is the top-level collection in the repository. Out-of-the-box, the root collection has the PID islandora:root.
A "Viewer" is an add-on package that allows a solution pack to embed, display, or playback a particular object in a web accessible format. Viewers are typically a combination of a Drupal Library and a Drupal Module. The Drupal Library is the package of code that represents the player or display mechanism, and the Drupal Module is the code package that allows the Drupal Library to be accessed from within the Drupal environment.
The Virtual Machine Image allows you to mount a fully working version of Islandora on your local machine as a separate virtual machine.
