The FACSAID Service

The FACSAID Service is a fee-for-service subscription to use the FACSAID database. The delivery of FACSAID services has had a long history, and the strengths and deficiencies of this system are now understood. For most users, FACSAID has been provided without charge, and the costs of maintainance, service, and improvements were born by the sponsoring business. For more details about this history, see the History of FACSAID page. This free-of-charge arrangement is no longer possible, and the service must now generate the revenues to support its continued availability and enhancement. An updated system is planned that will increase the value of FACSAID beyond its current levels and provide a higher level of service, support, and availability.

Current Description of the FACSAID Service: The delivery of FACSAID services revolves around a new Java application that runs on your network-connected microcomputer. The first version of this program, available soon, provides functions equivalent to those of the original Web applet, such as batch-processing files of FACS scores, interpretation of FACS scores that are not now in the database, and reverse lookups.
