The question here is, how do you know that a topic (like “Teleological argument”) has a user-created type (like “Argument”)? The answer is that it depends on whether the user has published the domain. If the user has not, then the use of those types will not be obvious; if the domain has been published, then you will see the types just like the main community types. So if you think Alexander’s types are useful, ask him to publish them.

How do you publish types?

Nevermind, found "Create a user domain" at http://www.freebase.com/user/domains from "Types you've created".

Sreedhar, look at the comments on your other post.

The UI doesn't quite let you do this yet. Its definitely an easy query to do with MQL using query editor, but if you aren't into query writing, we don't have a good way to do this presently.

A couple of potential features that would address this:
1. add a type filter option to the standard filter UI - so you could be looking at all people and then filter them down further by another type (in this case film director)
2. provide all properties as filter options (currently we just display the first 7-8) - if the person did have a job as a director, s/he could be found this way.
Option #1 is actually a better solution given the way we've modeled directors in the system - and is a generally useful feature for filtering down topics that have multiple types.
