Abstract
We use the concept of grading of Lie algebras to investigate the appearance of central charges during the contraction process. As for the usual graded contractions, one finds simultaneously the central extensions of classes of algebras, rather than specific Lie algebras. To illustrate the method, we consider in detail two physical applications: the kinematical algebras of spacetime and the u(n)-bosons limits of some Lie algebras.
