Hello,
firstly please get familiar with Oracle documentation, as it contains a lot of useful information. It is available e.g. online on http://tahiti.oracle.com/.

In SQL Reference book, you would find this info (located here fror 11gR1):

Datetime Format Elements

Element
Description


WW
Week of year (1-53) where week 1 starts on the first day of the year and continues to the seventh day of the year.

IW
Week of year (1-52 or 1-53) based on the ISO standard.
ISO week starts always on Monday regardless any settings. If you want the week to start on different day, you have to adjust it. For Sunday, adding one day (+ INTERVAL '1' DAY or simply + 1) to the source date shall do the job.
