+## The schema resource with references
+
+Schema registry references can be used to allow [putting Several Event Types in the Same Topic](https://www.confluent.io/blog/multiple-event-types-in-the-same-kafka-topic/).
+Please refer to Confluent [Schema Registry API Reference](https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/schema-registry/develop/api.html) for details.
+
+Referenced versions will always be upgraded with the referenced event schema version.
