 Again, note that Sparqlify is still in development and the supported features are a bit limited right now - still, basic graph patterns and equal-constraints should be working fine.

+* Convert a timestamp to a sequence ID
+```bash
+lgd-osm-date-to-seq -u "https://planet.openstreetmap.org/replication/hour/" -d "2017-05-28T15:00:00Z"
+
+# The above command from the debian package is a wrapper for:
+
+java -cp linkedgeodata-debian/target/linkedgeodata-debian-*-jar-with-dependencies.jar \
+    "org.aksw.linkedgeodata.cli.command.osm.CommandOsmDateToSeq" \
+    -u "https://planet.openstreetmap.org/replication/hour/" -d "2017-05-28T15:00:00Z"
+```
+The output is a (presently subset) of the appropriate state.txt file whose timestamp is strictly less than that given as the argument.
+```
+sequenceNumber=41263
+timestamp=2017-05-28T14\:00\:00Z
+```
+Note, that the timestamp format is compatible with `osmconvert`, which can check for the most recent data item in a osm data file. Hence,
+these tools can be combined in order to find the state.txt file from which to proceed with replication.
+```bash
+timestamp=`osmconvert --out-timestamp "data.osm.pbf"`
+lgd-osm-date-to-seq -u "url-to-repo" -t "$timestamp"
+```
