#' @title Class "SDMXConceptScheme"
#' @description A basic class to handle a SDMX Concept scheme
#' 
#' @slot id Object of class "character" giving the ID of the concept scheme (required)
#' @slot agencyID Object of class "character" giving the AgencyID
#' @slot version Object of class "character" giving the version
#' @slot uri Object of class "character" giving the concept uri
#' @slot urn Object of class "character" giving the concept urn
#' @slot isExternalReference Object of class "logical" indicating if the concept scheme is an external reference
#' @slot isFinal Object of class "logical" indicating if the concept scheme is final
#' @slot validFrom Object of class "character" indicating the start validity period
#' @slot validTo Object of class "character" indicating the end validity period
#' @slot Name Object of class "list" giving the concept scheme name (by language) - required
#' @slot Description Object of class "list" giving the concept scheme description (by language)
#' @slot Concept Object of class "list" giving the list of "SDMXConcept" objects (see \link{SDMXConcept})
#'
#' @section Warning:
#' This class is not useful in itself, but all SDMX non-abstract classes will 
#' encapsulate it as slot, when parsing an SDMX-ML document (Concepts, or 
#' DataStructureDefinition)
