The slide reads:

Open Metadata Needs to be FAIR

• Academic research outputs should be as open as possible; as closed as necessary
• Academic research outputs should never be behind a paywall
• Academic research outputs should be human and machine-readable/query-able
• Academic infrastructure should be interchangeable
• Academic researchers should never have to put the same information into multiple systems at the same institution.
• Identifiers for everything
• The impact of research is independent of where it is published and what type of input it is

Note: FAIR as an acronym stands for: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable.

As indicated in the @OACore tweet, Clare Turner and Adrian Clark, both of Figshare were the presenters.
