Recommendations -- authority files and discrete values

Hi,

While checking the Recs I bumped into
"Among these are authority files (which function as identifiers and have discrete values) and controlled lists."
I have trouble understanding this clearly: to me it is something within authority files that functions as ids, and that thing may be discrete values (i.e., a name string?). I've tried to render that by
"Among these are authority files (which function as identifiers and have discrete values) and controlled lists."

But I'm not so sure...
