I'm still trying to build a concrete understanding of the reference record in a bibliographic database. I'm trying to understand it through my own experiences but am not certain that those provide the correct model. I've worked in a system (and probably most systems work this way) where the authority-controlled fields in a bib record (BR) are linked to an authority record (AR) in a way that allows for updating a single AR and having the update reflect in all linked BRs. Both the BRs and ARs are resident in the same database.

Is it correct to envision that the local FOLIO database will work

the same

similarly, that there will be a record that will have a link to an external BR and the data from the external record will be a live feed into the local database? But any editing will need to occur at the site of the external BR? Locally, will this record with the link to the external BR live with actual BRs that we cannot have links to (e.g. records from vendors that supply files of records but do not sustain an accessible DB; records for local items, such as reserve materials)?
