[2] The intellectual property rights were acquired by O'Neill's company, Tumbling Dice Ltd, in February 2000[3] at the end of the grant funded Darwin Project.
The system underwent further development resulting in an producing an exemplar which is web accessible and which can cope in near real time with groups (e.g. hawk moths) which contain several hundred taxa.
This means that DAISY can be deployed to make real time identifications within groups containing thousands of taxa (e.g. true flies).
This server offered both VNC and web service based interfaces and was able to offload compute intensive pattern matching operations onto an NVIDIA GPU programmed using CUDA.
More recently, under the aegis of Innovate UK funding, DAISY has been extensively modified to meet the needs of upstream activities within the oil and gas sector, in particular biostratigraphy.
