Geometric partition categories

This page has evolved, or devolved, from a single paper draft (itself a sequel to a paper of Kadar-Martin-Yu on categories sometimes referred to as KY categories) to now include scope for multiple strands.
A sort-of overview is contained in the first paper here. (And here low-height KY categories and algebras are called short Brauer categories.)
Z. Kadar, P. Martin. Geometric partition categories: On short Brauer algebras and their blob subalgebras (old version)
preprint.
Z. Kadar, P. Martin. Geometric partition categories II: On short Brauer algebras and their representation theory
in preparation. (if and when spawned from the above.)
Z. Kadar, P. Martin. Geometric partition categories III: On construction of KY-type subalgebras of BMW algebras
hand-written notes only / in preparation.
There is also the task of construction of a fully `partition' version.
And see also, for example, the work of N. Alraddadi and A. Parker.
(Caveat for all pages: Leeds web server has gone down and some items still need to be transfered over. Fingers crossed.)
