You are looking for three properties:

/freebase/type_hints/mediator is True if a type is a compound value type 
(which we used to call mediators).

/freebase/type_hints/minor is True if a type is a supporting type.

/freebase/type_hints/enumeration is True if a type is enumerated.

The properties may be explicitly False or may be absent altogether.
