There's no such thing as Collada for Poser.
What you need to do to take advantage of Collada is open your Poser scene or poser content in DAZ studio, and then export.  I believe that in DarkEdge's question 'Poser' stood for Poser Content export to Max, rahther then export from Poser (program) itself.  Seemed like an extension of a thead from few days ago... IIRC, DarkEdge participated in that thread as well, so I assumed he already knows it's a Daz Studio thing.

Kuroyume, as for your question about joint parameters/weight maps, I can't say I've analyzed them. However, the bending that you get using inported rigging (it's a set of bones with a skin applied to it) loks fine to me. Bends at least as good as it does in Poser.

Collada comes with Daz Studio 1.8 and higher.
