Idea

The model category structure on the category of categories with weak equivalences is a model for the (∞,1)-category of (∞,1)-categories.

Every category with weak equivalences C presents under Dwyer-Kan simplicial localization a simplicially enriched category or alternatively under Charles Rezk’s simplicial nerve a Segal space, both of which are incarnations of a corresponding (∞,1)-category C with the same objects of C, at least the 1-morphisms of C and such that every weak equivalence in C becomes a true equivalence (homotopy equivalence) in C.

Details

For the purposes of the present entry, we understand under a category with weak equivalences the absolute minimum structure that may deserve to go by that name, namely a relative category:

Definition A relative category (C,W) is a category C equipped with a choice of wide subcategory W.

A morphism in W are called a weak equivalence in C. Notice that we do not require here that these weak equivalence satisfy 2-out-of-3, nor even that they contain all isomorphisms.

A morphism (C 1,W 1)→(C 2,W 2) of relative catgeories is a functor C 1→C 2 that preserves weak equivalences.

Write RelCat for the category of relative categories and such morphisms between them.

Model category structure

Nerve functors

The compatibility of the various nerve and simplicial localization functors is in section 1.11 of
