There's also info on use of KML for annotation at
https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=28086

I haven't had a chance to review it, and I don't know the overall
relationship between KML and annotation -- the discussion paper below is
from 2001, seems like KML (as the approved standard for earth browsers)
must have some impact.

May depend on your timeline for the project.

Subject: Re: [Geowanking] Can someone share a specification format for a
mapping project

Three OGC discussions are relevant (but not exact solutions) to this
topic:

XML for Image and map Annotation
Defines an XML vocabulary to encode annotations on imagery, maps, and
other geospatial data
http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=1020

Web Map Context document (WMC)
XML format for describing a map layout based on WMS services
http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wmc


Open Web Context document (OWC)
Extends WMC to include other services and data types like WFS, WCS, KML,
and GML http://www.ogcnetwork.net/schemas/owc/0.3.0/
