The accumulation of knowledge is key for any discipline, IS being no exception. With the number of publications, theoretical constructs, and empirical findings growing, surging demand for structuring and meta-analysis is foreseeable. We introduce DISKNET, an online platform that enables the extraction, exploration, and aggregation of construct’s definitions, semantic relations, and analytical relations. While these aspects exhibit a rather standardized structure in theory, their practical documentation is non-uniform, highly dispersed, and tricky to seize technically. This has impeded the efficiency and effectiveness of review and meta-analytical processes, and resulted in a fragmented theoretical superstructure. We suggest that tool support for systematic knowledge accumulation is a central step to counteract these issues and to build to a consistent body of knowledge within the IS discipline. The current prototype of DISKNET draws on a large sample of SEM-based studies to demonstrate relevant design principles for a platform for systematic accumulation of knowledge.
