| Boundary objects | Boundary objects are those objects that both inhabit several communities of practice and satisfy the informational requirements of each of them. Boundary objects are thus both plastic enough to adapt to local needs and constraints of the several parties employing them, yet robust enough to maintain a common identity across sites. They are weakly structured in common use and become strongly structured in individual-site use. These objects may be abstract or concrete. bron: Sorting Things Out; Classification and Its Consequences, Geoffrey C. Bowker, Susan Leigh Star, The MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, London, England, 1999. |
| Community of interest | A community of interest involves members of distinct communities of practice coming together to solve a particular problem of common concern. bron: Arias and Fischer, 2000. |
| Community of practice | A community of practice is a group of people who do a certain type of work, talk to each other about their work, and derive some measure of their identity from that work |

| Social network sites | We define social network sites as web-based services that allow individuals to (1) construct a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system, (2) articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection, and (3) view and traverse their list of connections and those made by others within the system. The nature and nomenclature of these connections may vary from site to site. Bron: Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship Danah M.
