We propose classification schemes for characterizing two-dimensional topological phases with nontrivial weak indices. Here, weak implies that the Chern number in the corresponding phase is trivial, while the system shows edge states along specific boundaries. As concrete examples, we analyze different versions of the so-called Wilson-Dirac model with (i) anisotropic Wilson terms, (ii) next-nearest-neighbor hopping terms, and (iii) a superlattice generalization of the model, here in the tight-binding implementation. For types (i) and (ii) a graphic classification of strong properties is successfully generalized for classifying weak properties. As for type (iii), weak properties are attributed to quantized Berry phase pi along a Wilson loop.
