Can we use OWIN to Host Asp.net Core Web API

Hello ALL,

i am just started into ASP.NET CORE. I need some help to host a API which is built on asp.net core using OWIN. 

I was able to host API into windows service for API built on asp.net frame work by following http://blog.thedigitalgroup.com/amitd/2016/02/24/self-hosting-webapi-2-using-owin/ .

But i am unable to do so for API's built on asp.net core. I need the logic in owinconfiguration class (in windows service project) to call startup class ( in core project). In the above link , since api were built on asp.net , webapi config file was used. But  in the new asp.net core web application template we dont have such config files..
