This will be shared through systems that know the relationships between
the internal and external companies/users and have access controls on
each item and credentials for each user. This is not new technology -
social networking, CMSs, Sharepoint, etc.
Documents already have URIs when they are put into the system but
knowing the URI is not sufficient for access.
To access a document, you will have to present your credentials in
addition to the URI. (01)
