1. A computerized media search system for searching, viewing, and organizing content and metadata of digital assets in a distributed repository framework, the system comprising:
a processor for executing applications stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the applications comprising:
a search index data collector service that
constructs a linked cross-referenced representation of enterprise digital assets stored in a plurality of federated repositories based on relationship attributes of the enterprise digital assets which are stored in a relationship registry; and
provides the linked cross-referenced representation of the enterprise digital assets in the plurality of federated repositories to a search engine,
wherein the system includes local digital assets and the enterprise digital assets, and
wherein the linked cross-referenced representation is created only for the enterprise assets.
