I think Deborah has also indicated a potentially good example of multi-value data
valued properties - color.
Let's imagine in some cases, "red" is too rough to describe the exact color that
people want to use, e,g, the "#C60000" red. If we want to model all these
possible colors (in the latter way) using individuals, that might be a headache.
On the contrary, it is quite natural if we model these colors using data valued
properties.
Then with cardinality constraints to data values, we can restrict the numbers of
colors on flags, shoes, hats, ice cream ...
