Refer to this link http://genomebiology.com/2003/4/5/P3 to the manuscript describing DAVID for a detailed description and figure. Briefly, level 1 is a general description whereas level 5 is a more specific description. The GO vocabulary is a type of hierarchy and thus a term at level 5 is a child of a term at level 1 for a given gene. The specificity at level 5 comes at a cost though, in that list coverage decreases as you move out the hierarchy.
