Abstract: We describe some basic facts about the weak subintegral closure of ideals in both the algebraic and complex-analytic settings. We focus on the analogy between results on the integral closure of ideals and modules and the weak subintegral closure of an ideal. We start by giving a geometric interpretation of the Reid-Roberts-Singh criterion for when an element is weakly subintegral over a subring. We give new characterizations of the weak subintegral closure of an ideal. We associate with an ideal

I

of a ring

A

an ideal

I_{>}

, which consists of all elements of

A

such that

v (a) > v (I)

, for all Rees valuations

v

of

I

. The ideal

I_{>}

plays an important role in conditions from stratification theory such as Whitney's condition A and Thom's condition

A_{f}

and is contained in every reduction of

I

. We close with a valuative criterion for when an element is in the weak subintegral closure of an ideal. For this, we introduce a new closure operation for a pair of modules, which we call relative closure.
