Property Value

This is an implementation of schema.org PropertyValue.

It is used for generic property-value metadata when no more specific schema property is available. In Stencila Schema it is especially useful for structured identifiers and similar descriptive metadata attached to Thing and derived types.

Key properties include propertyID and value. Prefer more specific properties when they exist, because they usually carry stronger semantics.
