Abstract: With its multidisciplinary nature, Information Systems (IS) offers more opportunities to its researchers. However, a review of prior relevant literature may not be easy for a new IS researcher to understand many disciplines that could be involved. The keyword 'knowledge' is a case in point in that fields related to IS research can range from Information Technology (IT) to Business and Economics. This paper aims to investigate how to understand the concept of knowledge from an IT data-centric point of view and this has not been done before to the best of our knowledge. It develops a new 4D framework to analyse the outcomes collected from relevant IS literature. It also demonstrates how the end-result from the 4D analysis can be extended to understand the concept of knowledge in Business and Economics in a multidisciplinary manner.
