Data binding & data mapping are definitely related.  Binding is
transforming one source format to another.  I.e. form url encoding being
parsed and populating properties on a class file.  It only deals with
copying data from a source to a target.

I would still view them separately since data mapping goes a step further:
it involves mapping to a database.  It is more than just format parsing.
For example, how to map the BigDecimal on a groovy object to a valid
database type.  Other examples include: database indexes, database
constraints, how tables are created (i.e. is there a join table that the
application doesn't see?), etc.

datastore is a generic term for the mechanism used to implement the data
mapping. i.e. hibernate, mongodb, etc.

On a side note, we often see "gorm" used in the data-mapping project, but
there are now nosql implementations like mongodb too.  It's not really a
relational mapping anymore.  That's why we've changed the name to
grails-data in the artifacts.  This matches other project conventions such
as spring-data & micronaut-data.  Long term, we may want to even 'gorm'
from being used and simply refer to it as 'grails-data'
