Every day, humanity is witnessing digital transformation, which involves implementing digital technologies to transform business processes and services from non-digital to digital. The success of this transformation is measured by the Digital Quality of Life (DQL) Index, and VPN service provider Surfshark publishes the study results. As Index DQL grows, so does the number of users because digital accessibility is becoming more popular daily. The increase in digital information, the continuous development of IT, and the transition of life online require software to be accessible to people with disabilities. There is a question about the correlation between software availability level and Index DQL. This research is dedicated to the solution to this issue. Ten European countries were randomly selected, and automated testing of the accessibility of government websites was carried out using the following tools: Tenon, Wave, and SiteImprove. The term Web application accessibility index was defined. For the first time, an analysis of the correspondence between Index DQL indicators and the web application accessibility index was carried out. Even though the EU countries and their partner states are constantly working to improve conditions for people with disabilities, a high DQL Index does not indicate a high level of accessibility of state websites, which was confirmed by the study.

This data article provides a data description on article entitled “A framework for improving web accessibility and usability of Open Course Ware sites” [3] This Data in Brief presents the data obtained from the accessibility and usability evaluation of the UTPL OCW. The data obtained from the framework evaluation consists of the manual evaluation of the standards criteria and the automatic evaluation of the tools Google PageSpeed and Google Analytics. In addition, this article presents the synthetized tables from standards that are used by the framework to evaluate the accessibility and usability of OCW, and the questionnaires required to extract the data. As a result, the article also provides the data required to reproduce the evaluation of other OCW.
