TLDR
For finite dimensional Lie algebras, covers are isomorphic as mentioned in this paper, and it is shown that covers need not be isomorphic to find all the extensions of a finite group.
Abstract
In dealing with the central extensions of a finite group G one finds that although covers need not be isomorphic, for each such H there exists a cover for which H is a. homomorphic image [1]. For finite dimensional Lie algebras, covers are isomorphic. We shall show that the second property also holds for Lie algebras. Thus to find all such extensions one needs to compute the cover and consider ideals contained in the multiplier (kernel of the homomorphism). Several examples are constructed. Our Lie algebras are taken over a field.

TL;DR: In this paper, the same authors extended the results to t(L) = 3,4,5,6,7 and 8, using a different method, and showed that the multipliers have dimension ½n(n-1)-t(L).

The Schur multiplier

TL;DR: In this article, a large amount of research has been devoted to the study of various properties of the second cohomology group H 2 (G,C*), also known as the Schur multiplier of a group G. The present book ties together various threads of the development, and conveys a comprehensive picture of the current state of the subject.
