A parameter is what characterizes the population whereas for a sample which is taken from a population the sample measure may vary from sample to sample.
A descriptor describes the data and may be used to identify a subject.
The telephone directory in the above setting is considered as a descriptor of that community in the sense that the sample data collected should more or less have similar constituents to be identified as coming from the same community.
