You could have search a bit. There is lot of them here
Metadata - is code that describes the compiled IL. A .NET language compiler will generate the metadata and store this in the assembly containing the CIL. Metadata describes all class members and classes that are defined in the assembly, and the classes and class members that the current assembly will call from another assembly. The metadata for a method contains the complete description of the method, including the class (and the assembly that contains the class), the return type and all of the method parameters. When the CLR executes CIL it will check to make sure that the metadata of the called method is the same as the metadata that is stored in the calling method. This ensures that a method can only be called with exactly the correct number of parameters and exactly the correct parameter types.

Information that describes every element managed by the common language runtime: an assembly, loadable file, type, method, and so on. This can include information required for debugging and garbage collection, as well as security attributes, marshaling data, extended class and member definitions, version binding, and other information required by the runtime
