Documentation is available for the GeoClassWebService as well.

string $cfgUnit	:	The default unit. Possible values are: km = kilometers, miles = miles, in = inch, sm = sea-miles
string $cgfLanguage	:	The default language. "de" (german) and "en" (english) are available.

GeoObject	:	a basic object which handles a locations name and latitude/longitude. It contains methods to determine distance and orientation between two GeoObjects and some methods for converting between degree and dms. This object can return a RDF-representation of itself.
GeoDB	:	Allows the connection to a MySQL-database which contains entries with gereferenced data. Queries are returned as arrays of GeoObjectDB.
GeoObjectDB	:	GeoObjectDB is a subclass of GeoObject. It contains all other databaseValues, which are provided by the GeoDB-object.
GeoDBNima	:	GeoDBNima fits the needs aof a database as provided by Nima. It is an subclass of GeoDB.
GeoObjectDBNima	:	GeoDBNima returns arrays of GeoObjectDBNima-objects. These objects provide methods which are designed for the layout of Nima-databases. Subclass of GeoObjectDB.

GEO_UNIT	:	The configured unit.
GEO_LANGUAGE	:	The configured language ("de" or "en").
GEO_EARTH_RADIUS	:	The mean radius of the earth in kilometers: 6371. km
GEO_RETURN_SER	:	Used by GeoClassWebService Returns serialized array of GeoObjects. (is 0)
