Metascheduling is a bit of a vague term. We tend to refer to it as 
matchmaking: Condor-G can select a grid site for a job based on matchmaking.

This is described in the Grid Computing section of the manual. Right 
now, it's in Section 5.3.5 "Matchmaking in the Grid Universe".

The negotiator is half of the matchmaker, and it is the half that 
does the actual matchmaking. There is also the collector, which 
collects information about the grid sites.

See the link above.
