Oh! Gotchya - Naw the Party Entity Model works like this: (as per ofBiz Site) "A Party can be either a Person, or a group of Parties. A Party Group could be a company, an organization within the company, a supplier, a customer, and so forth. Information that describes Parties or is directly related to Parties is contained in these entities." In short - this level of abstraction is something I've seen even commercial products missing. Something to consider in an O.S. shopping cart scenario. I mean, how many devlopers JUST stop at the front end of e-commerce. There are alot of other systems that (in the end) it will have to work with. Take fulfillment and warehousing for instance. And having a good entity model right up front can help you from getting blasted down the road when you have to say: integrate a shopping cart with an order fulfillment system.
