(speaking as a long-term moonlighting GIS developer) I would think that annotating online representations of "subsets of geographic regions" is very relevant.

We are using this for annotating climate science and Earth observation datasets but this could have application within the broader remit of GIS applications. Could this be relevant here or does it come under the category of 'data annotation' that you mention? Maybe you or others on the list are aware of similar activities in this area.
