The Dramasearch project imports the Dramatour methodology for character-based guided tours into interactive search applications for web sites and data repositories. The virtual character acts as a mediator between the user and the search engine, without replacing but complementing the role of the search engine. The character interacts with the user through a multimodal interface, with the aim of assisting the user to formulate her/his query in an effective way, presenting her/him the results and recommending related resources. In this paper, we describe an architecture for charactermediated search applications. In particular, we describe the process of dramatizing the interaction with the user, a feature that is required to qualify the character as a cooperative agent, and we show how the domain expertise of the character, embedded in the architecture as a semantic search layer, is exploited to construct the coherence of the interaction.
