In this paper we make precise the relationship between local or pointwise dimension and the dimension structure of Borel probability measures on metric spaces. Sufficient conditions for exact-dimensionality of the stationary ergodic distributions associated with a dynamical system are obtained. A counterexample is provided to show that ergodicity alone is not sufficient to guarantee exactdimensionality even in the case of continuous maps or flows.
