Can I use properties from Organization on Corporation schema?

Here is a screenshot of the schema.org website saying that Corporation is like a child of Organization:

I see the keywords property on Organization.

Can I use the keywords property on Corporation as well?

The reason why I am asking is a validator iI am using is giving me an error on this:

But when I use https://validator.schema.org/, it’s not giving me an error.

Yes:

  1. The keywords property is defined for Organization.
  2. Every Corporation is also an Organization.

Which is also why the keywords property is listed in the table on https://schema.org/Corporation. You can always stick to that table to see which properties are defined/expected.

(By the way, there aren’t any restrictions for which types Schema.org properties can be used. It’s not an error to use a property for an item of a type for which it’s not defined. It might not be expected/supported by consumers, including validators, and it might not make sense, but it’s not that your structured data would become invalid or something like that.)
