In this edition there are three discs: disc one contains 'The Final Cut' and several extras; disc two features three additional cuts of the film accessible via seamless branching (the 1982 domestic and international versions, plus the 1992 Director's Cut); and disc three features the rare "Workprint Version" of the film alongside the mammoth 3 hour-plus documentary "Dangerous Days", an all new HD Stills Gallery, and all of the special features from the previous release's "Enhancement Archive".

Should I consider this edition like a Box Set (parent profile without any Subtitles, Audio & Disc Features and children profiles for the three disc), or like disc + bonus?

In the rules, "box sets" are defined as "any release that includes more than one film". What you have is a release including several versions of one film; therefore it does not qualify as a box set.

You might want to take a look at US profile 085391185741 and how that set is set up - seems to be comparable.

Several versions of one film it's seems to me like different films...

This profile is an hybrid, parent profile with all the disc credits (using episodes group dividers) and child profiles for every disc.

And that's where we see things differently: different cuts of the same film: sure; different films: I don't think so. And more importantly: I don't believe the rules do either. Of course, your mileage may vary.

EDIT: you might want to take a look at the new rules for alternate versions. There, different cuts are explicitly excluded from creating alternative versions, as opposed to e.g. two different films on a single side of a disc.

It's OK for me, I just asked to be sure, however I don't understand why the children in the USA profile, if it's not a box set it's not correct to make children profiles (the media is the same).
