1. A computer-implemented method for extracting data from a data source by one or more computing devices, the method comprising: applying, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, an extractor pattern to a computer-readable data source, wherein the extractor pattern is generated based at least in part on a prior identification of data of interest and wherein the extractor pattern includes one or more regular expressions which are configured to identify additional data of interest in the computer-readable data source; retrieving, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, the additional data of interest from the computer-readable data source using the one or more regular expressions; and storing, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, the additional data of interest in a data storage device.
