Thierry: I did a similar study with virtual worlds using a faceted classification approach. Perhaps you could use the same method to do the same? I'm happy to share resources if you're interested.

Thank you all for your input.
I got some references to some interesting papers, but I have to admit I did not found out what I was looking for (a relatively formal categorisation, that could for instance have been expressed as a table comparing the 'properties' (&functions) of the different systems).
Maybe this is something that has not really been done yet.
Anyway, I will do with what I am, and I will post something here in the case that later I 'stumble upon' such a categorisation.
Bye, and thanks again.

Hello,
Coye Cheshire and I recently (last month) published a book chapter that categorizes online collaborative systems. We focus on the influence of
uncertainty about systems and online environments, and primarily use social exchange theory as a theoretical framework:
