What is OWIN?
https://github.com/owin/owin/wiki/faq
OWIN defines a standard interface between .NET web servers and web applications.
The goal of the OWIN interface is to decouple server and application, encourage the development of simple modules for .NET web development,
and, by being an open standard, stimulate刺激，鼓舞，激励 the open source ecosystem of .NET web development tools.
Katana Architecture
The Katana component architecture divides an application into four logical layers, as depicted below: host, server, middleware, and application.
The component architecture is factored in such a way that implementations of these layers can be easily substituted, in many cases, without requiring recompilation of the application.
