What version of OpenURL does Thomson Scientific support, and what Service ID (SID) is used?
As part of our quarterly upgrades to ISI Web of Knowledge, in the beginning of 2006 Thomson Scientific upgraded to OpenURL version 1.0, the newest standard. Please note that OpenURL version 0.1 will no longer be supported. The way the Session ID (SID) is presented has also changed. Previously, the SID was always “ISI:WOK”. With the upgrade, the new SID will be constructed as follows: rfr_id=info:sid/www.isinet.com:WoK:PRODUCT_NAME , which includes a database-specific abbreviation, such as WOS for Web of Science or CCC for Current Contents Connect. This will provide more explicit data on which product generated the source OpenURL. You will not need to do anything to your ISI Web of Knowledge account to take advantage of this upgrade. The same base URL will be used and appended with the new version. Innovative WebBridge users may need to change their settings in WebBridge for the new SID, adding the product abbreviation to the SID for the products they subscribe to; e.g. “ISI:WOK:WOS” or
