<p>The <strong>HTML <code>&lt;data&gt;</code> Element</strong> links a given content with a machine-readable translation. If the content is time- or date-related, the {{HTMLElement("time")}} must be used.</p>
<div class="note">
  <p>This element is in the WHATWG version of HTML, and not in the W3C draft of HTML5. That means it is a highly experimental feature, and shouldn't be used on production Web sites.</p>
