What does firmata mean in the Arduino library?
Just click on the link above. Now, Arduino Firmata is a layer added on top of Serial communication. The library uses the Firmata protocol which communicates over Serial. Arduino Firmata is kind of a high level interface to simplify things, and makes writing code easier and quicker for you.

How can I contribute to the FIRMATA protocol?
General documentation of the Firmata protocol. To contribute: Propose and comment on new features by opening an issue or submitting a pull request. Source code, examples and documentation for the Arduino -specific Firmata host implementation. To contribute: Open an issue or submit a pull request.
Which is an example of a firmata message?
Firmata is based on the midi message format in that commands bytes are 8 bits and data bytes are 7 bits. For example the midi Channel Pressure (Command: 0xD0) message is 2 bytes long, in Firmata the Command 0xD0 is used to enable reporting for a digital port (collection of 8 pins).
Is there a client library for firmata in Python?
Basically you have to communicate using the Firmata protocol over Serial communication. That can sounds quite difficult to do at first, but don’t worry, there are also client libraries available for you that will handle all the communication out of the box! For example, pyfirmata is a famous Python library to use Firmata as a client.
