Is it a proper usage when OfferCatalog contains offers from different sellers (online marketplace, for instance)?

The intent is to create offer list which contains separate offers from different sellers. Offers presented without any aggregation, one by one. All offered products itself serve the same purpose. It can be a list of screwdrivers, available in certain area, offered by different sellers, for instance.

I don’t think that the OfferCatalog type is appropriate in your case.

Its description says:


An OfferCatalog is an ItemList that contains related Offers and/or further OfferCatalogs that are offeredBy the same provider.


All offers have to be offered by the same provider. One could argue that the online marketplace (and not each seller) is the provider here, but the description of the referenced offeredBy property says:


A pointer to the organization or person making the offer.


The online marketplace isn’t making the offer, I assume. Or maybe it is? Then OfferCatalog might be appropriate.

If not using OfferCatalog, you can still use its parent type ItemList, if you prefer to use a list.
