Thanks!

Yes, that is possible, since the new range of the value property includes another http://schema.org/PropertyValue (but I will change that to StructuredValue to give even greater flexibility).

Then you can write either

<div itemtype="http://schema.org/Product">
  <span itemprop="name">Digital Camera 123</span>
  <div itemprop="additionalProperty" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PropertyValue">
	  <span itemprop="name">Interface</span>:
  	  <div itemprop="value" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/QualitativeValue">
	  	<span itemprop="name">RS232</span
		<link itemprop="sameAs" href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/RS232" />
       </div>   
  </div>  
</div>

which means you locally create an entity for the value "RS232" and link it to DBPedia, or directly use an external one

<div itemtype="http://schema.org/Product">
  <span itemprop="name">Digital Camera 123</span>
  <div itemprop="additionalProperty" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PropertyValue">
	  <span itemprop="name">Interface</span>:
  	  <link itemprop="value" href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/RS232" />
       </div>   
  </div>  
</div>
