Is this a basis for the Scott topology on the collection of open sets of a topology?

If $mathcal{O}(X)$ is the collection of open sets in the topological space $X$ ordered by inclusion and $Ksubseteq X$ is a compact subset of $X$ then it is easy to see that:



$$mathscr{U}_K = {Oinmathcal{O}(X) : Ksubseteq O}$$



is open in the Scott topology on $mathcal{O}(X)$. If $X$ is finite then the collection ${mathscr{U}_K:K mbox{compact in} X}$, is clearly a basis for this topology.



My question is: Is this collection always a basis for the Scott topology on $mathcal{O}(X)$?
