There was an error in the original publication [1] in ‘4.1. The Web Service Advantages and Limitations’, on page 18, in a sentence regarding Soil-Spec4GG. The sentence was incorrectly typed/inserted. The construction of the paragraph positioned the Soil-Spec in the wrong place, and gave a misinterpretation. The authors strongly state that Soil-Spec4GG is a confidently reliable project. Our idea in the texts was to emphasize the importance of this project, but our mistyping created the opposite. We humbly apologize and ratify that it was not an intentional error. We hope that this effort maintains the respect of the scientific community.
A correction has been made to 4.1. The Web Service Advantages and Limitations.

“…other ongoing global spectral community efforts (e.g., Soil-Spec4GG) are more vertical with researchers subsuming people’s spectral data without a data sharing policy that fully acknowledges and credits the user’s labor and costs of field data collection”.

“Other global spectral communities are also making similar efforts as our work which will increase the spectroscopy efforts (e.g., Soil-Spec4GG). On the other side, there are vertical groups with researchers subsuming people’s spectral data without a data sharing policy that fully acknowledges and credits the user’s labor and costs of field data collection”.
