What does the STANDARD mean there?

Answer 1

The type is "<ADT_1>" which is defined in package standard.

According to the reference these

data types are generics, used specially within package STANDARD and some other Oracle packages. They are protected against other use; sorry. True generic types are not yet part of the language.

Answer 2

Abstract Data Type?
