  9. Functions of the Authority File • Document decisions • Serve as reference tool • Control forms of access points • Support access to bibliographic file • Link bibliographic and authority files

  13. What’s Next? • Draft for worldwide review • Resolution of comments • Publication of the FRAR model • Completion of recommendations on numbering • Recommendations for changes to existing IFLA publications
