        abstract = {A pressing task during the unification process is to identify a
user?s vertical search intention based on the user?s query. In this
paper, we propose a novel method to propagate social annotation,
which includes user-supplied tag data, to both queries and VSEs
for semantically bridging them. Our proposed algorithm consists
of three key steps: query annotation, vertical annotation and query                                                             
intention identification. Our algorithm, referred to as TagQV,
verifies that the social tagging can be propagated to represent
Web objects such as queries and VSEs besides Web pages.
Experiments on real Web search queries demonstrate the
effectiveness of TagQV in query intention identification.
