Otherwise, the server will not create a new reference, and it will response with 400 bad request. Content-Type request header will contain the format of the set of data in the request body. By default, we accept application/json. If client application provides data in a format that server is not able to process, the server will respond with 415. The server will create a unique value in field guid, and set a value to updateSequenceNumber. It also assign the current time to dates fields created and updated. After a successful process of this operation, the server respond with 201 created, and it will place in Location response header the individual uri to this reference. Client application can use this URI in order to send changes in the biblioContent field.
