RADAR DSA Metadata

وەسف

RADAR DSA Metadata helps organisation categorise infringement to the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) by adding structured metadata to posts and pages. The plugin integrates with the RADAR framework from Check First to categorise and document potential content infringements.

Key Features:

• Easy-to-use interface for selecting applicable DSA infringements
• Automatic metadata generation in multiple formats (meta tags and JSON-LD)
• Direct integration with RADAR framework from GitHub
• Per-post/page assessment with date tracking
• Collapsible categories for better organisation
• Real-time infringement counting
• Support for multiple RADAR framework versions
• Customisable output formats

Why Use RADAR DSA Metadata?

RADAR is a community-driven framework that evolves with the Digital Service Act enforcement landscape. Your contributions help create a comprehensive, practical resource for DSA compliance assessment across Europe. Whether you’re a researcher, civil society organisation, regulatory expert, or platform representative, your insights and experiences make RADAR more robust and useful for everyone.

How It Works:

1. Install and activate the plugin
2. Configure your settings (framework version, platform name, output format)
3. Edit any post or page
4. Check “Enable RADAR metadata” in the meta box
5. Select applicable infringements from categorised lists
6. Save your post – metadata is automatically added to the page

The plugin fetches the latest RADAR framework definitions from the official GitHub repository, ensuring you always have access to up-to-date categorisations.

External Services:

This plugin connects to GitHub’s servers to fetch the RADAR framework definitions:

• Service: GitHub Raw Content (raw.githubusercontent.com)
• Purpose: Downloads the official RADAR framework JSON files containing DSA infringement categorizations
• Data Sent: Only HTTP headers (User-Agent, Accept)
• Data Received: JSON framework definitions
• Privacy Policy: https://docs.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-privacy-statement
• When: On plugin activation, settings save, and when cached data expires (24 hours)
• Account Required: No

The plugin does not send any personal or site data to external services. All framework data is cached locally for 24 hours to minimize external requests.
