The GeoData workbench was started by microelly2 but he never completed it. It was more or less prototype code.
Then, Hakan started Geomatics Workbench using code from microelly's GeoData. So, GeoData is more or less obsolete, as more functionality was developed in Geomatics Workbench.
However, some time later Hakan said he didn't want to continue development of the Geomatics workbench (post). Nevertheless, shortly afterwards bidandou decided he could continue the project and became the second main developer and maintainer (post).
So, you shouldn't use GeoData; you should use Geomatics, and preferably direct your questions to bidandou in the GitHub repository.
