Plain Old CLR Object vs Data Transfer Object

POCO = Plain Old CLR (or better: Class) Object

DTO = Data Transfer Object

In this post there is a difference, but frankly most of the blogs I read describe POCO in the way DTO is defined: DTOs are simple data containers used for moving data between the layers of an application.

Are POCO and DTO the same thing?
