English translation:Beyond the original technical context…
Explanation:
1) Your other postings today suggest that the Fachbegriff in question is ‘Digitalisierung’
2) Fachzusammenhang is used here in the sense of specialised/technical context rather than (school) subject.
3) There is no actual comparison (Vergleich) taking place here

Suggested translation:
The meaning of the term has since been extended and modified beyond its use in the original technical context.

in comparison with the subject context


Explanation:
im Vergleich zum fachlichen Zusammenhang, d.h. im Vergleich zu Fällen, in denen das Thema im Rahmen seines thematischen Zusammenhangs angesprochen wird.
z.B. kann ein Wort innerhalb eines bestimmten Bereichs eine bestimmte Bedeutung haben, und eine andere, wenn diese Spezifität aufgehoben wird. z.B. Raum : innerhalb der Astronomie = Raum, innerhalb der Kunst= Aufführungsbereich

Example sentence(s):
  • Identify and compare what subject is being portrayed by each of the two artists, if known. Thirdly, compare the context of each of the two works.
  • Critical Incident Analysis of Classroom Management in the Subject Context

Against the backdrop of the technical context


Explanation:
Even though "Vergleich" is not a literal side-by-side comparison in this context, we still have a looser form of comparison that we can't ignore. It simply suggests that "compared to" what the term used to mean (narrow technical meaning), it has evolved quite a bit.

Im Vergleich zum Fachzusammenhang wurde der Bedeutungsinhalt daraus folgend erweitert und modifiziert.

Against the backdrop of the technical context, the meaning of the term has changed and expanded.

Compare with this:
"Against this backdrop, the term ‘crime-terror nexus’ has come to take on different meanings and is often subject to varying interpretations."
