This paper describes the Lempel-Ziv dimension (Hausdorff like dimension inspired in the LZ78 parsing), its fundamental properties and relation with Hausdorff dimension. It is shown that in the case of individual infinite sequences, the Lempel-Ziv dimension matches with the asymptotical Lempel-Ziv compression ratio. This fact is used to describe results on Lempel-Ziv compression in terms of dimension of complexity classes and vice versa.
