"What information does each of these
values represent?

BCCode = Bug Check Code
BCP1-4 = Bug Check Parameter

They represent what you will see in a typical BSOD - a STOP error code followed by 4 parameters:

The other values identify the operating system, service pack and the product causing the crash:

OSVer = OS Version
SP = Service Pack

How can I use these values to better
understand what the cause of the error
was?

You may use NirSoft's BlueScreenView to interpret minidump files which are created during 'blue screen of death' crashes or check the bugcodes.h file (open with Notepad) for a full list of bug check codes."
