Not really a Java guy, so I don't think I can help here.

As I referenced, I used the http://any23.org/turtle endpoint. Perhaps you haven't updated that yet, the version at the bottom of the http://any23.org page says 0.9.1-SNAPSHOT from 2014-04-13, so it's reasonably recent.

Looks like there are several comments in there relating to this already. If the snapshot version doesn't include this, then that would explain it.

Excellent; once it's updated, you can either try pointing the RDFa test harness yourself, or feel free to contact me for support.

The rdfa.info service is run by the RDFa community; the test suite there is used to determine conformance of processors claiming to support RDFa 1.0 or 1.1, which is where the EARL reports used to generate the overall conformance report come from. The any23 endpoint is configured in for informational purposes, along with that of most conforming processors. The overall implementation report for RDFa 1.1 can be found here: http://rdfa.info/earl-reports/

You can either run the service by cloning the rdfa.info website <https://github.com/rdfa/rdfa-website> and running it using the run-suite script, or most easily, simply enter the endpoint of your RDFa processor (such as http://any23.org/turtle) and it will be run automatically from the web page. This gives detailed conformance reports for each test across all host languages and RDFa variations. I'd be happy to work with you on this.

Let me know if I can help further; it would be great if any23 becomes 100% conformant for RDFa.

P.S., there are also some Microdata to RDF tests at <https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/htmldata/raw-file/default/microdata-rdf/tests/index.html> if you're interested.
