I too have had this odd obsession, oddly enough that I focused on making a database with over 12K lab testing results, and from the Open Cannabis Project. It’s a big spreadsheet on my G-Drive with Cannabinoids, and Terp % for most major strains, plus since it’s from real samples, there are maybe 10 tests of some to confirm the consistency from multiple growers and labs.
You can also use it to see relational matches, such as what terps tend to stick together, regional terps, offset terp matches, cancelation of terps, etc.
I saw a interview with Mean Gene of Freeborn, and his Candelabra tested for like 23 diff terps. Most I see in my test results maybe test for like 6-10 terps. So, by breeding for a more full terp palate, you can achieve great highs, or by breeding two like strains that have terps that fill in gaps of where that terp isn’t present.
For Experiment #1: Ocimene
Ocimene offers a sweet, woodsy fragrance and holds various therapeutic properties, including anti-convulsant, anti-fungal, and anti-tumor activity. It has also been shown to act as a decongestant and an expectorant (causes coughing) when inhaled.

My thoughts are you can try to breed in one direction for one purpose and make a solid medicine from it. For ex, make a (Royal Kush x Tropical Slieigh Ride ) - Royal Sleigh Ride, Ocimene slayer…
Do that across the board of terps… breed for the most amount of terps, highest terp %, terps you enjoy most, terps that have big medicinal effects, etc.
