We consider data compression algorithms as a tool to get an approximate measure for the quantity of information contained in a string. By this it is possible to give a notion of orbit complexity for topological dynamical systems. In compact ergodic dynamical systems, entropy is almost everywhere equal to orbit complexity. The use of compression algorithms allows a direct estimation of the information content of the orbits.
Keywords: entropy, Topological dynamical systems, information, orbit complexity., coding.
