Referencing change(s) in data utilizing a network resource locator

A computer system comprising:

• one or more processor(s);
• and
• one or more computer-readable hardware storage device(s) having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processor(s) to cause the computer system to execute a data service that provides limited data set information to a client device, where the limited data set information is provided in response to a data set, which is located remotely to the client device, being modified, and where the limited data set information is provided to the client device without providing an entirety of the data set to the client device, by causing the computer system to:
• receive, from a client device, a query on a data set, wherein a current portion of the data set is different than a corresponding cached portion of the data set stored on the client device as a result of a change being made against the data set such that a change delta exists between the current portion and the corresponding cached portion;
• in response to receiving the query, identify an entry within a change log to identify the change that was made against the data set, wherein the entry identifies the change as being a last change that was made to the data set, and wherein the entry was recorded within the change log in response to the last change being made to the data set;
• compute a token that encodes an identification of the entry in order to generate a reference to the last change that was made to the data set;
• and
• communicate a link that includes the token to the client device to notify the client device of the change delta.
