In [2] an internal homology theory of crossed modules was defined (CCG-homology for short), which is very much related to the homology of the classifying spaces of crossed modules ([5]). The goal of this note is to construct a low-dimensional homology exact sequence corresponding to a central extension of crossed modules, which is quite similar to the one constructed in [3] for group homology.
The homology theory of colored posets, defined by B. Everitt and P. Turner, is generalized. Two graph categories are defined and Khovanov type graph cohomology are interpreted as Ext* groups in functor categories associated to these categories. The connection, described by J. H. Przytycki, between the Hochschild homology of an algebra and the graph cohomology, defined for the same algebra and a cyclic graph, is explained from the point of view of homological algebra in functor categories.
