BIBFRAME RDF Convention #8 states:  use rdf:value and rdfs:label as appropriate when supplying the value of a resource.
I am having trouble understanding when rdf:value is used.  I can't induce a rule from examples in the BIBFRAME specifications (transcribed below) and RDF Schema 1.1 [1] doesn't throw much light on it.
Can someone explain what appropriate use of rdf:value is?
