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:
Cheshire, C., and J. Antin. 2009. "Order, Coordination and Uncertainty." Pp. 266-291 in eTrust: Forming Relationships in the Online World, edited by K. S. Cook, C. Snijders, V. Buskins, and C. Cheshire. New York, NY:
