Research Abstract

The tendency of Westernization has progressed in the apparel market in Asia. And It is not only casual clothes but also the consumption such as men's better suits and high-leveled woman clothes shows the tendency to increase. On the other hand, the natural fiber that becomes the raw material of the high quality clothing ground is a fiber raw material to which many assume Asia origin. These raw materials are supplied from Asia to the global market.
On the other hand, a lot of natural fiber resources are not examined for a scientific evaluation and the commercial value yet. For instance, many of wild silkworm species are studied in the field of entomology. However, it is not enough to consider an enough examination is not done as a fiber material for apparel. And exclusive animal hair fiber such as cashmere is also not enough to research about the qualitative difference between breeding environments. This research has aimed to support the quality function deployment about the apparel prod … More uct by the Asian fiber resource. So we proceed to evaluate the various characteristics about the natural fibers of the Asian origin (domesticated silkworm, wild silkworm, animal hair, raw cotton, hemp, etc.), and to categorized by using the multivariate analysis methods. Now we are proceeding to build a database system and to open the result of obtaining to the public.
The natural fiber is greatly classified into three, the one of the plant origin, the one of the animal origin, and the mineral origin. The plant origin is classified according to the collection position of fiber material. It is classified like the seed, the coat skin, veins of a leaf, fruits and stem, etc. The scientific name is used for the database in this research. Because the scientific name is classified depending on a morphological attribute, it is useful for the picking out similar plant by the morphological attribute. In this research, the species is assumed to be a minimum classification of this research. As a result, a special species from which even the inheritance level is researched can be treated by the lamplight and the settlement. It is assumed the data base that treats the differences between the saucer, the seed, and the species.
The data base was composed of four tables like as country regional table, fiber table, scientific name table and sample table. The regional table put the data of essential information of various places with the country. The fiber table put the situation of an existing natural fiber. The scientific name table put the scientific name of the living thing and a concrete measuring data of the sample in the sample table with again was put. The data base was constructed by using PHP and HTML under the server base MySQL and the display program. And we made the cross-searching function between each tables. Less
