Radar Screen Labels

Folks

Can someone please tell me where the info on your screens comes from! In particular Mode S returns with all the extra stuff. I know about the Mode A/C stuff. Are the Mode S labels (such as aircraft type) sent from the aircraft or are they looked up from a database in ATC using the ICAO address which I know is broadcast?

cheers
