					<div class="r-stack">
					<p class="box fragment fade-in-then-out" style="background-color:var(--astun-red)">We manage and host the SSDI for Scottish Government...</p>
					<p class="box fragment fade-in-then-out" style="background-color:var(--astun-red)">...I sit on BSI IST36</p>
					<p class="box fragment fade-in-then-out" style="background-color:var(--astun-red)">...chair the UK Gemini WG</p>
					<p class="box fragment fade-in-then-out" style="background-color:var(--astun-red)">...and sit on the GeoNetwork PSC</p>
					<aside class="notes">Astun supply and manage geospatial software to local authorities, government clients and organisations of all sizes, based on an open source software stack. Our data discovery work, which I lead on, focuses on GeoNetwork Open Source, but also metadata in general and the wider geospatial standards infrastructure</aside>

					<div class="r-stack">
					<p class="box fragment fade-in-then-out" style="background-color:var(--astun-indigo)">There's an increasing focus on Data Quality across the Public Sector...</p>
					<p class="box fragment fade-in-then-out" style="background-color:var(--astun-indigo)">and many frameworks and guidance on Quality Dimensions, and the Data Lifecycle...</p>
					</div>
					<aside class="notes">People now understand the importance of data sharing and metadata, so we can now focus on improving what we share. Government Geospatial Commission, Data Quality Hub, EU Metadata Quality Assessment etc provide guidance</aside>

					<h3 class="box" style="background-color:var(--astun-blue)">and everyone wants to make Data FAIR...</h3>
					<img style="border:none; box-shadow:none; background:none" src="./images/fair.png" alt="fair principles" with="500"/>
					<aside class="notes">Data and Metadata Quality both contribute to Data Discovery and the FAIR principles. For example, if titles are too long or too short, abstracts/descriptions are truncated , duplicated records and so on, this can cause indexed records to be down-ranked and therefore make them less findable</aside>

					<aside class="notes">Encoding data quality and lineage in metadata is technically difficult. Standards documents cost money and are not the easiest to understand</aside>
