I was just chatting about the semantic differences of PLE vs PLN vs PLC vs CoP with colleagues today and decided to do a little Googling to see if any more definitive descriptions have come up since I blogged about it a couple of months ago.

PLE = the tools & infrastructure

this is vaguely true, but if you look close its asimplification.

the real interesting point of course is that the communities are an effect oft software, and this kind of 2.0 software is running on human input.
