The finite W-algebra structure of noncommutative pfaffians

Let oN\mathfrak{o}_N be the orthogonal Lie algebra with generators Fij=EijEjiF_{ij}=E_{ij}-E_{ji}, and let PfFIPfF_I denote the noncommutative pfaffian of the skew-symmetric submatrix FI=(Fi,j)i,jIF_I=(F_{i,j})_{i,j\in I} for an index set I{1,,N}I\subset\{1,\ldots,N\}. These pfaffians satisfy commutation relations inside U(oN)U(\mathfrak{o}_N), and the sums of their squares give central elements. Pfaffian algebra question. What kind of algebraic object do the pfaffians form? Is it isomorphic to a finite WW-algebra? The question arises from the commutation relations among the pfaffians and their relationship with central elements of U(oN)U(\mathfrak{o}_N); the source does not specify a proposed isomorphism or a resolution.
