Jan 22, 2013 at 9:38 comment added Zhen Lin It is standard terminology when working in choice-free settings, such as when dealing with internal categories in, say, $\textbf{Top}$. It also happens to be the weak equivalences in the folk model structure on the category of categories.
Jan 22, 2013 at 9:16 comment added Martin Brandenburg Is "weak equivalence" a standard terminology? I bet that topologists use this as "induces a weak equivalence on classifying spaces".
