ELF is fairly well documented and standardized.

Just googling for 'ELF' quickly yields the Wikipedia page
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_and_Linkable_Format
which contains several links to documents describing plenty of details.

You can also read the elf(5) manpage in FreeBSD



If that information is not what you are looking for you will have to ask
much more specific questions (which hopefully somebody will be able to
answer.)
