The MetaBase is IIS. It holds every configurable element of IIS and is stored in XML form, it is in the windows folder (i.e. \windows\system32\inetsrv\MetaBase.xml).

You can amend this file manually or programmatically but special care should be taken when doing so.

More can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IIS_Metabase.
