 **`annotations`** (object, optional) contains arbitrary metadata for the container.
 This information MAY be structured or unstructured.
-Annotations are key-value maps.
+Annotations MUST be a key-value map where both the key and value MUST be strings.
+While the value MUST be present, it MAY be an empty string.
+Keys MUST be unique within this map, and best practice is to namespace the keys.
+Keys SHOULD be named using a reverse domain notation - e.g. `com.example.myKey`.
+Keys using the `org.opencontainers` namespace are reserved and MUST NOT be used by subsequent specifications.
+If there are no annotations then this property MAY either be absent or an empty map.
+Implementations that are reading/processing this configuration file MUST NOT generate an error if they encounter an unknown annotation key.
