In differential geometry, Lie algebroids generalize on one hand Lie algebras, on the other hand the tangent bundle of a manifold: they are vector bundles equipped with an anchor map, i.e. a vector bundle morphism to the tangent bundle, and a Lie algebra structure on the space of sections subject to certain Leibniz rules. The integrated version of a Lie algebroid is a Lie groupoid. A purely algebraic version is a Lie-Rinehart algebra.

Examples of Lie Algebroids

This is not particularly an answer to your question. Beyond Lie algebroids arising from Poisson structures (which Dima Shlyakhtenko has already mentioned in the comments), I think the Wikipedia list …

Is the cohomology of the corresponding Lie algebroid an invariant under equivalence of sourc...

Here is a counterexample to the second question. Let $\mathfrak g$ be the nonabelian two-dimensional Lie algebra, thought of as an algebroid with one object, and $G$ its simply-connected group, thoug …

Is there any relation between deformation and extension of Lie algebras?

There are big pictures that I'll let others describe. Here's a little picture which cogeneralizes the Weinstein remark. (To "cogeneralize" is to make more specific, rather than less.) Recall that a …
