W3c css has http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-fonts/#font-weight-prop
100 - Thin 200 - Extra Light (Ultra Light) 300 - Light 400 - Normal 500 - Medium 600 - Semi Bold (Demi Bold) 700 - Bold 800 - Extra Bold (Ultra Bold) 900 - Black (Heavy)
Note that just because W3 & CSS provide for them doesn't mean they exist. Very few web fonts have more than two weights. Most have only medium & bold. Some have only bold or only light. Most of the few common fonts that have more than two are Mac only, or at least were last I checked. Some Vista & W7 fonts might have more.
http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/Font/fonts-comps-commonweight.html & http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/Font/fonts-weightier.html show what's available among the most common web fonts.
fontconfig has

Is there any clear relationship between them please?
