Statistics extends Intangible uses StatisticsRecordTrait

What a body of figures is about, and over which stretch of time.

A statistics record answers four questions and no others : whose figures these are (Statistics::$about), which side of the trade they were measured on (Statistics::$direction), which year they cover (Statistics::$year) and at which step the series inside them are cut (Statistics::$observationPeriod). The figures themselves are not here : each family of statistics composes the measures it carries, so that a customer, an article and a company are described by the same head and by whichever measures their source actually publishes.

It is an Intangible rather than a Dataset : a dataset is a body of structured information that gets published, catalogued and downloaded, and carries the editorial terms that go with that. This is a reading — one subject, one period — closer to the Observation it is made of than to the corpus it may end up in.

🔑 The subject is a reference, never a copy. about and assignedCompany hold what the source gives — a code — or the resolved object, and a consumer joins on read. Freezing a whole customer inside a yearly figure would give every recomputation a chance to disagree with the customer record itself.

Constants

CONTEXT

The @context of the json-ld representation of the thing.

public string CONTEXT = \xyz\oihana\schema\constants\Oihana::SCHEMA

JSON_PRIORITY_KEYS

Defines the priority order of keys when serializing the object to JSON-LD.

public array<string|int, mixed> JSON_PRIORITY_KEYS = [\org\schema\constants\Schema::AT_TYPE, \org\schema\constants\Schema::AT_CONTEXT, \org\schema\constants\Schema::_KEY, \org\schema\constants\Schema::_FROM, \org\schema\constants\Schema::_TO, \org\schema\constants\Schema::ID, \org\schema\constants\Schema::NAME, \org\schema\constants\Schema::URL, \org\schema\constants\Schema::CREATED, \org\schema\constants\Schema::MODIFIED]

Keys listed here will always appear first in the serialized array, in the order specified. All remaining public properties will be sorted alphabetically after these priority keys.

This ensures that important JSON-LD metadata and system fields (like @type, @context, _key, id, url, created, modified, etc.) appear at the top of the output for consistency and readability.

Usage:

$orderedKeys = self::JSON_PRIORITY_KEYS;

Notes:

  • Can be overridden in a subclass by redefining the constant.
  • Late static binding (static::JSON_PRIORITY_KEYS) allows child classes to modify the serialization order.

List of JSON-LD keys in priority order.

Properties

$_from

The metadata to indicates the edge 'from' identifier.

public string|null $_from

$_id

The metadata identifier of the item.

public null|string $_id

$_key

The metadata unique key identifier of the thing.

public null|string $_key

$_rev

The metadata revision value of the thing.

public null|string $_rev

$_to

The metadata to indicates the edge 'to' identifier.

public string|null $_to

$about

The entity these figures are about.

public null|int|string|array<string|int, mixed>|Thing $about

Holds the raw reference as read from the source (a business code), or the resolved subject. Left untyped beyond Thing on purpose : each family names its own subject by redeclaring the property with the same union and its own #[HydrateAs], which is what lets Reflection::hydrate() read a joined row back as the right class while a bare code is left as read.

$active

The visibility flag.

public bool|null $active

$additionalType

An additionalType for the item.

public array<string|int, mixed>|string|null|object $additionalType

$alternateName

An alias for the item.

public string|object|array<string|int, mixed>|null $alternateName

$assignedCompany

The company these figures were measured for.

public null|int|string|array<string|int, mixed>|Organization $assignedCompany

A code, or the resolved organization. Statistics are commonly kept per legal entity as well as consolidated over all of them ; keeping the entity on the record is what lets a reader tell one from the other, and what a consumer scopes a reader's perimeter by.

Reuses the name, the shape and the meaning Customer::$assignedCompany already carries.

$created

Date of creation of the resource.

public null|string $created

$description

A short description of the item.

public string|object|array<string|int, mixed>|null $description

$direction

Which side of the trade these figures were measured on — sales or purchases, from the operator's point of view.

public null|string|BusinessDocumentDirection $direction

The same enumeration, the same name and the same meaning as BusinessDocument::$direction : a figure and the document it was computed from say it the same way.

public string|null $disambiguatingDescription

$hasPart

Indicates an item that this part of this item.

public string|Thing|array<string|int, Thing>|null $hasPart

The name of the item.

public int|string|null $name

$observationPeriod

The step the series inside this record are cut at, as an ISO 8601 duration — `P1M` for one value a month, `P1W` a week, `P1D` a day.

public null|string $observationPeriod

Stated on the record rather than on each measure : every series of a given record is cut the same way, and saying it twelve times is twelve chances to disagree. Same term, same format as Observation::$observationPeriod.

$owner

The owner of this Thing.

public null|string|Thing $owner

Represents any entity (person, organization, system, or other object) that can be considered the possessor of this Thing.

$potentialAction

Indicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role.

public array<string|int, mixed>|Action|null $potentialAction

$sameAs

URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity.

public string|array<string|int, mixed>|null $sameAs

$url

URL of the item.

public int|string|null $url

$year

The calendar year these figures cover.

public null|int $year

An integer : a year is compared, sorted and grouped far more often than it is printed, and 2025 does all three without a cast. The wider period a record covers, when it is not a plain year, belongs to temporalCoverage on whatever publishes it — not here.

$atContext

The JSON-LD `@context` value.

protected string|null $atContext = null

Default is https://schema.org.

$atType

The JSON-LD `@type` value.

protected string|null $atType = null

This can be manually set or automatically inferred from the class name.

$DEFAULT_JSON_SERIALIZE_OPTIONS

protected static array<string|int, mixed> $DEFAULT_JSON_SERIALIZE_OPTIONS = []

$schemaTypeCache

Internal cache for resolved schema types.

private static array<string, string> $schemaTypeCache = []

Methods

__construct()

Constructor to hydrate public properties from an array or stdClass.

public __construct([array<string|int, mixed>|object|null $init = null ]) : mixed

This allows objects to be quickly populated with associative data without manually setting each property.

Parameters
$init : array<string|int, mixed>|object|null = null

A data array or object used to initialize the instance. Keys must match public property names.

Tags
throws
ReflectionException
example 
use org\schema\Person;
use org\schema\constants\Prop;

$person = new Person
([
    Prop::NAME => 'Jane Doe',
    Prop::URL  => 'https://example.com/janedoe'
]);

echo $person->name; // Outputs: Jane Doe

getJsonSerializeOptions()

Returns the default JSON serialization options.

public getJsonSerializeOptions() : array<string|int, mixed>

This method determines how the jsonSerialize() output is reduced or compressed, etc. It can be overridden in child classes to customize serialization behavior.

Return values
array<string|int, mixed> —

Returns the reduction/compression options for JSON serialization.

getSchemaType()

Returns the fully qualified URI of the schema type.

public static getSchemaType() : string

This method combines the class's CONTEXT constant with its short name to produce a globally unique identifier for the entity type.

  • It uses Late Static Binding to ensure the correct context is retrieved even when called from an inherited class (e.g., Corporation vs. Affiliate).
  • Performance Optimization: Results are stored in a static cache ($schemaTypeCache) to avoid redundant Reflection calls during the same execution lifecycle.
Return values
string —

The absolute URI of the type (e.g., "https://schema.org/Thing"). ** @example

echo Thing::getSchemaType();      // https://schema.org/Thing
echo Affiliate::getSchemaType();  // https://schema.oihana.xyz/Pagination

jsonSerialize()

Serializes the current object into a JSON-LD array.

public jsonSerialize() : array<string|int, mixed>

Includes public properties, the JSON-LD @context and @type. Null values are automatically removed.

Tags
throws
ReflectionException

example 
use org\schema\Person;
use org\schema\constants\Prop;

$person = new Person
([
    Prop::NAME => 'John Smith',

]);

echo json_encode($person, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

Output:
