Deep Linking is a way to access material by using pointers (or bookmarks).  As an example, some tutorials on deep linking explain how to link to a specific time within a YouTube video, but in our case, we are going to learn how to build URLs that you can use in a website, or for doing quick queries to ACS tabulations without using the AFF  interface.
