How can I check whether a Freebase MID is a schema in freebase or not?

I want to filter out all the triples which has a schema in its head or tail. So I want to check check a mid is a schema or not. But can somebody teach me how to do this?

Thank you so much..

Objects or nodes in the graph which are part of the type system have a /type/object/type of /type/type. Other schema components such as domains (groups of types) and properties also have their own types (/type/domain and /type/property, respectively).

If what you really want is all entities however, you're probably better off looking objects which have the type /common/topic. This will exclude not only components of the schema, but also mediator nodes (aka CVTs) like https://www.freebase.com/m/0kpxvh?links= which are used to describe complex relationships.

Whether an inclusive or exclusive filtering strategy would work best really depends on what you're trying to accomplish, which I'm not sure I fully understand.
