An object of the present disclosure is to provide a data collection system and a data collection method which are capable of collecting sensing data and various pieces of metadata by a single communication protocol and capable of associating the sensing data with the metadata without errors. A data collection systemof the present disclosure is a data collection system that performs communication from a terminalto a data collection unitby a standardized communication protocol (LLDP or HTIP), in which the terminalstores sensing data detected by a sensor device in an extended field different from a field in which metadata is stored, within a frame specified by the communication protocol, and the data collection unitassociates the sensing data with the metadata based on information for identifying the terminal described in the frame.
