The article treats the geometrical theory of partial differential equations\nin the absolute sense, i.e., without any additional structures and especially\nwithout any preferred choice of independent and dependent variables. The\nequations are subject to arbitrary transformations of variables in the widest\npossible sense. In this preparatory Part 1, the involutivity and the related\nstandard bases are investigated as a technical tool within the framework of\ncommutative algebra. The particular case of ordinary differential equations is\nbriefly mentioned in order to demonstrate the strength of this approach in the\nstudy of the structure, symmetries and constrained variational integrals under\nthe simplifying condition of one independent variable. In full generality,\nthese topics will be investigated in subsequent Parts of this article.\n
