The Factiva.com platform is OpenURL target and source compatible with the San Antonio profile level 1 (SAP1). We support the following OpenURL versions and syntaxes: 0.1 version, 1.0 trial version, and 1.0 balloted version.
The OpenURL parameter set is comprehensive and includes many parameters from a variety of metadata formats that are not relevant to Factiva content. Therefore, the Factiva OpenURL interface supports a subset of the list of OpenURL parameters that are relevant to Factiva content and that Factiva can process with accuracy. These parameters are outlined in the following table.
Please Note:
* Any parameters sent to Factiva that are not on this list (and are not otherwise used as part of the Factiva Direct URL authentication process) will be ignored.
* If you need to specify OpenURL parameters that Factiva doesn’t support, please contact Technical Support with the appropriate information. They will investigate the possibility of supporting such parameters in future releases of its OpenURL capability.
