Always use specific properties when they exist and you can populate them. Using PropertyValue as a substitute will typically not convey as much semantic information as using the specific property.

Most of the time a PropertyValue node will need a value property (e.g. most of the examples on https://schema.org/PropertyValue have one) so this schema make that property required.

This type is mainly provided for use in Thing.identifiers (see the notes there).
