you are only looking at a small portion of the Mall model.
I suggest make a list of all the requirements of a Mall model then do a
model like the data books did.
This is something David is particularly good at if you wish to retain
his services.
He has a develop a frame work for this
here is a message from him

> Hello,
> Can anyone give suggestions on how to extend the ofbiz datamodel to support
> mall functionality. I've installed ofbiz and played around with it.
> I have the The Data Model vol 1 book. I've read the threads about mall/multi
> vendor/"multi-tenancy"
> Basic Requirements
> - A customer goes to the mall and can browse/search for products accross all
> the stores.
> - A product is sold by/owned by/created by/hosted by one and only one store
> owner.
> - The customer can browser and filter by specifying attribute values for
> products.
> - To facilitate this filtering, the product attribute definitions are shared
> by all store owners. These product attribute definitions are maintained by
> the mall owner (only one mall owner)
> - When browsing products, to the customer, the store owner of a product
> seems like just another attribute he can filter on.
> - For the rest we have "multi-tenancy"
> What approach?
> Does the Catalog Manager recognize some relationshiop between ProdCatalog
> and Party to support this. Should ProdCatalogRole be used for this?
> How are security groups relevant? It's clear to me that a security group is
> related to a Party via PartyRelationship. PartyRelationship relates a source
> and target party via a Role and a SecurityGroup (The CATALOGADMIN_LTD
> SecurityGroup). Is that it?
> Help greatly appreciated.
> Thanks,
