Is coated paper the same as fine paper or woodfree paper or art paper?

Woodfree paper is the paper made without using mechanically pulped fiber. Woodfree does not mean free of wood fibers. Art paper is typically the paper used for high class multicolor printing. All coated papers can be categorized as fine paper, woodfree or art paper but reverse is not true as all fine paper or woodfree paper or art paper are not coated paper.
