Afraz,

Yes, but it is also good practice to link the HTML description with the 
RDF representation of the description. This enables the RDF discovery to 
start from the HTML description.

This is all that is required:
 <link rel="alternate"  type="application/rdf+xml" 
href="http://os.rkbexplorer.com/data/osr7000000000017765" /> 

Of course you can also use RDFa to similar effect by making a seeAlso claim.
